Fakes (2022)

Season 2! Season 2!
9 September 2022
Not a single line of wasted dialogue. It all either makes you laugh, manhandles your feels, or leaves you staring at the screen with a surprised Pikachu face. I was completely thrown by the ramping up in episode five from frothy, witty YA crime caper to Breaking Bad. Tryst is Jesse Pinkman meets the Artful Dodger? Or do I sound like Sally making bad theater references here? (You will either love Sally or break out into hives, and whatever ends up happening, you're SUPPOSED to feel that way.) I love lusty Sophie and Clem the not nice guy. These are fleshed out side characters with their own motivations and lives off screen, hopefully positioned to spring into action with more screen time in season 2. Also, shout out to the costume department? The clothing was ridiculous and wonderful. The consensus is everyone is surprised at how good this is, so spread the word and lets make sure there's a second season.
