Could have been really, really good, but....(with blacked out spoilers)...


for all the complete implausibilities and wrought-filled overuse of already overused cliches makes this completely undeserved of such a high rating.

For example, can we get away from the sullen, whiny, intelligent teenager who rebels and gets themselves in deep trouble, or the character that refuses to share information that if revealed will mean nothing and only creates more trouble by keeping it secret, or the fictional use of Tasers as the go-to source for knocking a person out (a corpse is even tased for practice and jolts all over the place....or the biggies that include....in her path of retribution, the main character carries around a man's smartphone she has murdered and even uses it (really, in this day and age, these things are completely traceable; or how she sneaks around the village in a brand spanking new hearse - are there no CCTV cameras; or killing someone apparently oblivious to modern clues like fingerprints and DNA.

Though, I do have to admit - one major plot point was quite the surprise and the scenery was amazing.

Just full of lazy, lazy writing and overuse of too often used plot devices, and one of those shows you feel compelled to finish just so you know how it ends.

These Netflix mini series most of the times accomplish the goal of entertaining. No artsy BS, no room for fillers, no overly complex plot.

I like them for the simplicity, in this case less is more
