Blackwater (2023)
1/10
What's the Swedish for anticlimax?

Warning: Spoilers
Warning: spoiler alert. I'm a great fan of skandi noir, but this isn't it. After six excruciating episodes that do nothing but set the depressing scene of backward backwater country trash and hippie intruders, we find it was all just a case of mistaken identity and unnecessary action to protect an innocent suspect.

The characters all seem to spend too much time underdressed for the freezing environment, and spend too much time between baths. OK, they're in the 1970s, but the production lays that on so thick you can smell it.

It makes the Appalachian inbreds in the wonderful film Deliverance look like social and cultural giants.

If, like me, you resist your better judgment and persist in the hope it will all come together, think again. Otherwise you'll end up writing a review like this one.
