The Changeling (2023– )
7/10
Accents are all over the place
10 September 2023
Really and truly. Can no one do proper accents? I can't even tell where Lillian is from because her accent switches between African, West Indian and American. I can only imagine it's supposed to be a West Indian accent as they play The Mighty Sparrow twice. If you can't do an accent then don't do it, time and time again accents are completely butchered, especially West Indian accents as most Americans think an exaggerated T on words is all that is needed (don't get me started on Daveed Diggs Sebastian in The Little Mermaid).

The show itself has been quite boring so far. I feel myself watching solely because I like the actors and I'm hoping it gets better but I do find myself constantly thinking of other things while watching. There's not enough keeping me hooked in.

The show has so much potential based on actors alone and I'm hoping it gets more exciting than what's been presented so far. Currently It just seems like an extreme slow burn series. I know some people would be like it's showing the parts of motherhood, family trauma and mental health not addressed though there were clear signs it should have been, that being said, I'm sorry...that's not a horror story for me.

Ok. I watched the 3rd episode and I'm back. I had to edit my review that was preciously a 4. After this third episode (honestly they could have shortened both 1&2 to one episode) I'm back and the show turned out to be a good view. BUT this is also after two boring very slow episodes. This really could have been shortened and made into a movie.
