Red Widow (2013)
3/10
No Cliff Hanger / Edge of Your Seat (not a spoiler but do discuss one hint within the episode)
12 March 2013
Warning: Spoilers
I want to like this show but I just can't. I watched the premier which was 2 hours and Sundays 1 hour episode. There is no cliff hanger / edge of your seat feeling with this show. It's dull to me. I want to like it but just cannot. Unfortunately, I think this will be cancelled. There are too many shows out there that by episode 3 have you wrapped into the show. Issues:

  • Characters have not been developed to the point the audience is invested in them emotionally. They do not go very deep.


  • The acting is poor by many characters. Just not believable.


  • There is no cliff hanger what so ever. The son saw the red stripe on the bottom of a shoe at one point and had a flash back - we should have been excited by this but it seemed to blah to me.


  • The story line could be interesting but they just do a poor job in developing the script into action.


This show will definitely be cancelled.

They director/producer should watch Homeland / Lost / etc -- get some tips - come back and produce a show. These are the shows you are up against. If you don't compare or better yourself than those - ppl will get bored. And my guess is, anyone watching Red Widow is someone who would also be into Homeland, Lost, etc etc.

Try again.
