The acting in this show was excellent, some performances were even award worthy. But the show missed a big opportunity to explore the complexities of childhood in the digital age and how crimes like the ones shown are investigated. The real time filming style, while interesting from a technical standpoint, wasted too much time that could have been used to develop the plot. With only four episodes, every moment counted, yet we spent unnecessary time watching things like full car rides, long walks, and fingerprinting in real time.
If they were committed to this filming style, they should have expanded the show to six or seven episodes and used the extra time to build a more complete and engaging story instead of letting the camera linger on people thinking and walking. At least they didn’t follow Eddie into the bathroom! I’m writing so much about a show I didn’t enjoy because it felt like a waste of a great cast. Instead of fully developing the story, the creators focused too much on pushing a specific message. The topics they covered are important, but they’re already widely discussed in the media. They could have made a more meaningful impact by going deeper into the real complexities of growing up today rather than just trying to stir emotions.
Yes, my friend, I agree with you in these aspects of which you speak. It was that very thing that led me to investigate further about the series and its peculiar way of production. That's right, they could have extended a bit more and perhaps explained the whole event but even so, I consider that the last episode was key for the closure of the series. Now they say that more productions of this type will be made, so we can only wait to see if they can surpass this first result, which I think was clear and concise.
Hopefully something better comes out next haha
