Review of The Split

The Split (2018–2022)
3/10
Season 1 was promising
27 March 2020
Warning: Spoilers
But Season 2 reminds me of one of those tawdry American daytime soaps of the past - wealthy privileged lawyers jumping in and out bed with each other. I lost the will to live. One character is a chronic alcoholic kleptomaniac for two episodes but then recovers miraculously in the next. Episode 5 was the low point though - the Moot Court fake court case for students is used in a jaw droppingly amateurish manner to expose the real life drama of the protagonists. God save me. This production features an experienced well heeled cast but sadly it is let down by substandard shallow writing. Even the usually impressive Nicola Walker fails to make us care. And don't get me started on those ghastly 'meaningful' pop songs.
