No.
I felt obligated to give a positive review, being Dutch and proud of a Dutch product being sold to the US, BUT I just cannot. All I could think was, what did they do to the original? I understand adaptation, i get change, but this is just: taking a good thing and shredding it to pieces, leaving us with??? Some parts are too glossy, to fake, some too fast. Character development is very weak.
(Sean Bean as the husband would have rocked the first episodes.)
Maybe ABC wants this to be the next 'days of our lives' 'bold and the beautiful' etc. Then I should take back my review and conclude that this is just not for me and that Red Widow was never meant for me to begin with.
I will try one more episode, just because I feel like there might be hope for the Penoza- vibe yet.
