Vortex (2022)
8/10
It's binge watch worthy detective series with a time travel twist but don't analyze it too much!

From a purely scientific and time-travel related aspect, even logical if you will the movie has so many plot holes that you can make a separate movie just analysing the nonsensical stuff, honestly it's a lot. That's why I realised I shouldn't think too much and just have to enjoy the emotional side of things and the suspense in the constant butterfly effects, oh yeah and also to figure out who's the killer.

It's not a movie for time travel geeks, many things don't add up or make sense, they're just there because the movie can't continue without them.

The script is mostly focused on the drama and the detective side of things. About that I want to say something to the script writers, guys, I get it, it's nice to have a massive plot twist and to constantly direct the audience to all the wrong suspects, however it's not really a plot twist if you showed the actual killer in a total of 3 scenes 15 sec each. It's almost like you had to pick him because no one would suspect that the guy who brought coffee in the office in the second episode and had 2 lines to say is the killer. The good plot twists happen when all the suspects are given equal screen time and lots of communication, you can't just pick the secretary who picked up the phone in the background and voila, that's our killer lol.

Personally I loved all the butterfly effects, that was the real surprise for me.
