The Deep (2010)
2/10
Starts out strong and then takes a nose dive to extreme boredom
5 December 2023
By the middle of the third episode I just didn't care. There's some kind of mystery and it's impossible to care. The plot started to fall apart and the behavior of the characters became ridiculous and unreasonable. I thought there was the bones of a fantastic story in here but between the horrible acting and even worse dialogue, I could not even force myself to finish. I don't even know what happens and I don't even have enough interest left to look at a summary. That's how bad it went from compelling to losing my interest completely .

I'm not even interested enough to delve into what went wrong here. Despite it having the pace of a snail they managed to dangle plot threads and completely miss out on the chance to deliver some compelling mystery and drama. I'm not even judging the scientific inadequacies of this thing but it was clearly written by someone that knows nothing about diving. About the pressures involved in the challenges. It's completely ridiculous by the third episode and it really did start out strong. It's sucked me in with characters that vanish to be replaced with empty planks of wood.

Honestly by the end I was hoping everybody would just die.
