Bay of Fires (2023– )
6/10
It's decent
13 December 2023
I mean, the story is kinda interesting, I loved that the main character ran away from trouble to somewhere full of it, literally.

The protagonist doesn't make too much sense, she is introduced as a competent individual capable of turning a failing company profitable. But the way she acts sometimes doesn't fit that description, often behaves inconsistently, losing composure and making illogical choices when the plot demands(like the damn SIM cards). The son, initially annoying, became more interesting in his forbidden love storyline.

I'm mostly interested in the side characters, the show's strongest aspect. They're more captivating, easier to connect with, and keep me watching. Toby Leonard Moore's was the standout for me, and learning he's Australian was a surprise. Seeeing a blind old person driving was funny. I found the town's founding story intriguing; it adds depth to the show and the main characters' lives, introducing a touch of mystery. I have been seeing a lot of Rachel House recently, notably in "Foundation," "Next Goal Win," and now this.

I think the last episode could've gone a little better. Like Jeremiah and the lawyer meeting again. But the whole scheme was great, and I loved how they teased the Russian mob boss coming for season 2 like he was Thanos before infinity war. It's an okay series, could've been better if the main characters were likable. It's funny at times but not laugh-out-loud funny, the series doesn't take itself too seriously and I didn't find myself particularly bored at any point, making it a decent way to pass the time.
