Review of The Call

The Night Agent: The Call (2023)
Season 1, Episode 1
3/10
Grab bag of cliches
30 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Haven't we all seen this thousands of times before? Isn't the acting and cinematography exactly what you'd expect - functional and cliche? There is no real chemistry between the characters who seem to act on auto-pilot. The dialogue is cringey at times. The woman actually acts pretty horrible.

There's a scene where a woman is staying upstairs and the house owners are talking downstairs. The dialog is so poorly done and contrived, it feels fake and constructed just so the woman upstairs gets a full picture of what they've done. That part made me so angry - how low can you go as a writer!

As if they all read the same "how to act in USA drama series" book. It lacks creativity, finesse, the willingness to do something exciting and new.

This is now the 5th show I started on Netflix and it feels like they are just pooping out crap. I am not going to finish this. Why should I waste my time on this?
