PENTHESILEA
Greece
I want more!
Choose this one for 12 hours full of funny moments,good kick-ass fighting scenes,great chemistry among all the characters and the most appealing crime cases.
I started this right after i finished "Cheat on me if you can"I guess i was in the same mood to watch something similar and Bulldog gave me the exact same vibes.
Let's start with what i didn't like so much.
Music:Was catchy and good especially in the fight scenes but too "loud" for my taste.I didn't like the OST too.
Production/direction/cinematography:
This drama is from 2020 but to be honest the whole production looked older.Of course 2 years is not an issue but felt like it was made back in 2010.I don't know if it was the use of the camera or the direction.The cinematography ruined it alot to me(lately i pay too much attention at this part while watching series)
There was something wrong with the color palette.Too...brownish maybe?Colors were dull no vivid at alI.I don't know but it wasn't pleasant to the eye.Also most of the time scenes were too dark i used more eye drops than the FL!Visuals weren't that good and felt boring.
The neutrals:
Cast/acting:My only objection was the choice of the FL.I liked all the other actors,they fitted their roles the best.
Acting was good but not crazy good.I felt something was missing.Like they all could give a little more but were holding back.(if this makes sense)
Characters:
The Producer:I was annoyed by this char.Her obsession with her show rates was too much and i find she lacked professionalism.She was loud and noisy too.She made wrong and irrational decisions.(to capture a serial killer and hid him from police just to have footage for her show just wasn't right)
The Detective:Dedicated and "With a passion for solving the unsolvable cases" as the synopsis says.Good character but not super wow!
All those i really loved!
Characters:
The ex profiler/scheme guy.Smart and funny i enjoyed every scene he was on.
The ex NFS/mortician:ok i love this actor what more to say.Any character he plays he nails it.He gives life even to the most boring char.hands-down.
Teddy,the ex gangster and his Red zone team!
I absolute loved those 2 crazy dudes and the crazier gal!They were the highlight of the entire show.
Story:The story was a typical collaboration of different and contrary characters on solving cases.
BUT!what really makes the story extraordinary is that the crime cases were freakin good and so much more.
Unique,interesting,with twists,with depth.I haven't watched for a while so good written crime cases,seriously.And i watch a lot of this genre!
I want a full series with 50 episodes having such incredible cases to be solved!Writers out there please write similar scripts for an addict to mysteries like me!
The only thing i didn't like about the story was the unanswered questions about the Detective's dad and his past.
Go watch this is just 12 hours,you will have fun,trust me!
