The Red King (2024– )
8/10
A solid 8 of absolutely awful!

Warning: Spoilers
By the 3rd episode I was watching this show as a comedy. It's so bad at everything that it becomes very fun to watch.

From the writing, acting "special effects", it's just so very lazy and low budget that I couldn't help but laugh!

If you take the main character played by Anjli Mohindra, she's some 'strong principled cop from the city' who seems to struggle with every day interactions and conversations, watching her stumble her way through a conversation can be painful at times, I feel as though the director only allowed 1 take per scene and accepted whatever came out.

The dialogue, well allow me to release this little gem (warning spoiler ahead) at one point Grace (Anjli Mohindra) has done some detectiving at starts to get suspicious about the residents of the island and says - in a very serious tone I might add, "The smartest thing the devil ever did was.. Convincing people that it was just a tourist thing".

It was at this point I realised that this was going to be quite an experience, and I wasn't disappointed, it's just a mess from start to finish yet I loved it.

I highly recommend that you watch his as its a genuinely intriguing mystery (even if you guess the twist) but when combined with awfulness with a show trying to take itself seriously then you'll have a great time.
