The Method (2015– )
7/10
Stylized Russian crime drama with a few twists
27 November 2017
Stylized and sometimes silly, this series is fun if you leave your common sense behind. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. The acting is sub-par, the scripts feel rushed, the characters cardboard thin but still I watched the entire series. It's all so out there, so in-your- face, you can't help but watch with a perverted fascination. At times the pedantic nature of the 'teacher' character gets a little tiresome and his beautiful 'student' paper thin (literally) but this is so foreign to most crime series that it has the charm of its own. Not for binge watching but every once in awhile, a decent time waster. Caution might be exercised for younger viewers as it is quite violent, with many almost too-realistic images of violent death. Not at all PC, this show is not for everyone but if you want a change of pace, give it a try.
