Signora Volpe (2022)
Crashing bore
The Italian scenery, which is the only worthwhile aspect of this monumental dud, is the reason I gave it a two. The producers don't miss an opportunity to use the scenery presumably to keep the viewer interested.
The premise relies on a couple of shopworn tv tropes: the burnt out spy and the fish out of water routine which I presume is the only reason the show was set in Italy. Then they throw in a target practice scene which is a ripoff of the one in the original Day of the Jackal; all that's missing is the explosive bullet.
The pacing of episode one is positively glacial. It's about as interesting as watching paint dry.
Acting Good (2022)
Inept writing with no discernable humour
There's absolutely no reason to watch this rubbish.
The producers obviously took advantage of the complaints about a lack of IPOC on television to pitch this dreck to the networks and the fools at CTV bit on it even though they had to have known it was a stinker.
It's so bad it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out the network had to pay the sponsors.
Why this wreckage qualifies as a comedy is anybody's guess; the alleged writing is juvenile and I would say the humour is forced expect there is zero humour, the characters are unlikeable and the actors playing them are, to be charitable, wooden.
As others have indicated a negative rating would be more appropriate for this mess.
