Barracuda (2016)
3/10
Cliché with weak ending
24 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Cliché list: -new boy at school gets bullied by classmates -likes another boy but ends up hooking up with his sister instead -gets drunk and declares his love for the other boy in public -ends up in court after hitting that same guy -dramatically stops swimming after one loss (and gets depressed and grows a beard, of course, you gotta have that beard!) -exotic swimming coach which becomes his spiritual life guide savior -random meltdown pseudo suicide attempt?

-cheap "self realization and maturing" ending

Filled with weird "that guy is probably into guys too" characters that don't evolve into anything (family uncle, guy at the rehab centre, etc).

Victoria Haralabidou acting was on point though. 10/10 for her, the true star of this miniseries.

Camera and production is quite good.

Overall though, a waste of time.
