The Cuckoo (2024)
A Terrible Second Half
From the jump it was obvious what was happening. We could tell she was after the daughter with those longing gazes, but the dead-eyed stares in between were missed by the parents.
So why, writers and producers, did you feel it necessary to reveal her intentions in episode one? Add soon that happened I knew this would be bad.
A great deal of what happened in this would never happen in reality. Failing to call police when she got free of the cupboard. The detective hanging up the phone when the husband called.
When she fell off the edge why did the pull back shot show them so far from the edge? She would've fallen onto the grass in front of them as they reached out to save her.
Shockingly bad script.
Weak acting save for Lee Ingleby.
Some incomprehensible real world scenarios.
You can suspend your disbelief, you just won't believe what you're watching.
