Dark Woods (2020– )
3/10
A sophidticated hybred of Colombo and Road Runner
14 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This series has all the sophistication of an episode of Colombo.

Imagine Colombo blended with the inevitability of Road Runner and you have a clue as to the sophistication of this police procedural drama.

The antics are strictly from the 70's and modern police rules and guidelines are flagrantly thrown out the window.

The actors are great and the scenery, although bleak and dark like most German dramas, is attractive overall.

The writing is DISMAL and it has the quality that would have disappointed a high school writing teacher.

The sheer number of dead ends and false leads is staggering and the volume of Red Herrings would make a Bouillabaisse large enough to feed the German army.

This show is one tiny insignificant plot and it's dragged, screaming and protesting for 6 agonizing episodes until I found, at episode 3, I didn't even care who did or didn't do it.

The Danes know Drama, the French understand love stories and the Italians know about marital strife. These people know nothing I want to watch.
