Colman Domingo’s first leading TV role
Scenario
Media pundit Muncie Daniels must fight for his innocence and his life after he stumbles upon a murder deep in the Poconos..
As a fan of binge-worthy murder mystery limited series, I was hooked on the concept
The show had an interesting premise and plenty of initial promise, but it lost its way along the journey.
However, it felt like it was initially written to be a multi-season show but was condensed into an eight-episode miniseries
The result was an overly packed story with numerous side plots and characters with no development that only loosely tied into the main plot.
Each subplot had potential but was cut short, leaving the story feeling empty and confusing
It was like all the right ingredients for a 5-star meal were there, but the chef ran out of time and just tossed everything together and served it up.
The ending was especially underwhelming – not outright bad, just disappointingly bland
It failed to draw any strong emotions, good or bad, because there was little there to connect with.
