The Barrier (2020)
7/10
Better than thought it might be..
21 April 2021
I know this show has many mixed reviews.. some say the actors over acted or made things more dramatic than needed. I do see that sometimes with foreign films and it drives me crazy. I feel it's usually done when the movie was made in another language and they basically did a voice over with English. I'm guessing those who watched it in original Spanish mode/language maybe thought about it differently than those of us who don't speak Spanish.. (wish I did).

So... I see where some were turned off because it seemed some actors were over dramatic. I usually want to give a show a fair chance to impress me and unless it's absolutely horrible.. will commit to watching 2 episodes. After that I decide if I really want to continue.

With this show... the first Episode wasn't my favorite because of what I stated just above (over acting or drama) however I liked where I thought the writer/director etc.. were going with the story. So I watched the 2nd episode and was happy I did. I wish Netflix would have picked it up for another season.

I also wish the USA would teach kids multiple languages starting in pre school or kindergarten. Like other countries. It's usually easier to learn when younger. I would have loved to know Spanish, French, Japanese and maybe Mandarin.
