Review of The Divide

The Divide (2014)
6/10
What a shame it was canceled
3 January 2016
I'm giving it a cautious rating of 6, because I was able to catch only a couple of episodes of the first season and because, based on what I saw, it appeared that this might be a series that was just warming up in its first season.

I didn't watch any TV at all in 2015...not on strike, just one of those "life got in the way" things. With the new year starting, and life settled down a bit, I decided it was time to catch up on what I had missed.

This was the first series I looked for, having been sufficiently impressed by those couple of episodes to have remembered it all this time. I was very disappointed to learn that it had been canceled, probably not long after the couple of episodes I watched.

I can't give you an in-depth review, because by now I've forgotten the details of those couple of episodes. What I remember is that the series seemed to have great potential for both characters and plot of above-average nuance, complexity, and intelligence. Perhaps it would never have lived up to that potential, but I wish it had been given more of a chance.
