Review of Deception

Deception (I) (2013)
3/10
Watch the first reel of Twin Peaks
7 January 2013
I could only stand the first 30 minutes of Deception. Then, I remembered how a series pilot about a "seemingly sweet young girl winds up dead" is done properly. Rewatch the first 20 minutes of the Twin Peaks pilot to see how David Lynch does it right ... Angelo Badalamenti music, first significant line of dialog "she's dead ... wrapped in plastic", the girl's mom (Grace Zabriskie) reaction.

What we're missing in Deception is a bunch of characters more concerned about themselves then about the terrible events they've just learned of. If they're not really concerned about "who done it" than neither am I.

P.S. It's been about 25years since Cooper has been on the other side (last scene's caption: "25 years later..."). Let's bring back Kyle MacLachlin, Michael Ontkean and ... Sherilyn Fenn for another go.
