Review of 4 Blocks

4 Blocks (2017–2019)
6/10
Predictable Season 1 ending spoiled a good season
23 October 2023
We could see it coming. We knew it was going to happen. Don't characters in movies and TV shows ever watch movies and TV shows?

The first few episodes of Season created realistic, although tropish, characters. By great crime show standards, they were not particularly complex, but reasonably well written and acted.

However, at the end of Episode 5, and all through episode 6, formerly intelligent and savvy characters make a series of bad decisions, leading to predictably bad outcomes. Then there was a Hollywood shoot-out, requisite death scene and typical criminal bro-love.

We will watch Season 2, and hope we are less successful at guessing exactly what will happen, before it happens.
