PENTHESILEA
Greece
A lot of wasted potential.
When i see Time Travel in Synopsis/ Tag, i jump in blindly.So if you are a hardcore fan like me who doesn't want to miss any related series out there,go for it.
If you are not a fan or you are just a newbie,you can skip this and choose something else,more light and less confusing.
The best parts in this Drama was production,direction and acting.For a -more or less-6 hours mini series i was highly impressed.
Nothing seemed cheap.Actors were really good and believable in their roles.
Direction was great,Seriously.I liked the slow motion scenes(you can call it my personal fetish!Lol)the overal camera use and the smooth transition between the scenes.The flow was kinda artistic.If i had to rate this separately,i would have give a 9.
As for the Music.A mysterious tune as a carpet added some suspense.But very fast turned too monotonous.
The only song plays partially in some episodes and is the main outro song.But who stays to listen the outro fully?I didn't.Thats why gave a 5,5.
As for the story.
As i said iam a hardcore fan.Ive been watching movies and series about Time Travel for over 20 years.
Yet,i sometimes had a hard time to follow everything up in this one.
Plotline was just a mess.And not the good one when at the end everything clears and make sense.No,not that kind!The bad one.
It was like an idea popped up in writer's head and after that he blacked out.Felt like he was struggling to tie things up in every episode.Unable to untangle the mess inside his head he had no other option but to finish the story ending up to be a complete mess and nonsense.The main idea became so blur,at the end everything lost focus.
In the last 2 episodes they tried to turn story deep and profound-my ass!-by adding philosophical questions about life,choices how to cooperate with grief bla bla bla.Yeah.Whatever.I didn't buy.
Obviously i do not recommend this one unless you have a goal about how many Time Travel Dramas you will watch til the end of the year!
