Review of Red Rose

Red Rose (2022)
3/10
Decent enough up until the disaster which is episode 5.
19 August 2022
And then it crashes down to a 1/10 rating for sheer stupidity in every respect in that episode. So a 3/10 overall.

That's probably the single worst episode of a TV series that I've ever watched in my life (Although some of the episodes of The Following run it close).

Why did the writers decide to make every character as thick as two short planks all of a sudden?

I read an interview with them somewhere in which they claimed that every character had to have a reason for their actions otherwise they would rewrite the script.

After watching Episode 5 in horror (not the good kind), I realised that that claim was clearly rubbish as the characters made some unbelievably dim-witted choices in order to drive what was left of the plot forward. There were three scenes where the supposed tension resulted in me almost laughing out loud.

I'd say I've had enough but will probably watch the rest of it to see what further depths it can sink to.

BTW: There were a few early signs that this might be a stinker.
