The Lake (2022– )
2/10
Disappointing, but at least nice scenery
21 June 2022
Lake beauty? Check.

Nostalgia if you grew up spending summers on a lake? Check.

Happy to see actors you have liked for years (Julia Stiles)? Check.

Good acting? Half-check. Some yes, some no.

Potentially funny premise? Check.

Ability to judge how this series will really be, as far as content and how far across boundaries it may go, watching trailer?

NOPE.

Finding it increasingly difficult to choose funny shows that are relevant, and yes, maybe a little edgy (I'm not a prude, though I do like wholesome shows...but, my point being I am alright with a few adult situations, language, etc to a degree)...

but good gravy, there is some extraneous innuendo and reference in this to the point of distraction. Were you trying to go for a gross-out comedy feeling disguised as funny situational humor?

Like one reviewer said, I might have expected this from Netflix, but...(which is why I now only subscribe to them a month at a time to watch a series that has been released, and then I cancel my subscription)...

I kept hanging with some of the ridiculousness for a few episodes, but just now I saw/heard a set of lines that made me say I'm out. Could have been a good run, but nope.
