Payback (I) (2023)
7/10
I really enjoyed this show but I wasn't satisfied with the ending
14 November 2023
Let's start with the good. I'm not one of those people who are always looking for the next big innovative thing. This is a story of a woman whose husband is murdered and is left with a whole bunch of problems because of things that he did that she didn't know about. Not the first time a story like this was done but it's still interesting enough so I decided to give it a chance. First I'd say that the acting is excellent! Everyone is playing their part really great. Second, the story itself is unfolding in a descent pace. Not too fast but not too slow either. I always prefer a faster pace but as long as it's not too slow, it's ok. The production value is good too and again, six episodes aren't too much for this kind of a story. I make this point because I really don't like it that some shows are dragged out on on just to get more episodes. It's not like that in this show. So know that if you're looking for a fast paced action, this isn't it. It's a good paced thriller/drama.

Now to the bad part, while the ending is not terrible. Personally, I wasn't impressed. I really hate loose ends and there are several questions that aren't really answered (I'll write a more detailed review for the last episode). I just wasn't satisfied with the way the last episode unfolded. Too much of it didn't feel right to me. I can't say much more without spoiling it but because I found the show to be mostly very good I was hoping for a more satisfying ending.
