The Defeated (2020)
10/10
Cinematic originality
1 October 2021
Something missing from a lot of TV shows. Another thing is that there's no fat. So many shows dilly dally and hold off on exciting stuff. Not this one. Each episode ends without anything big necessarily happening. And holy crap it actually looks like a movie. And the CG is flawless.

Taylor Kitsch first grabbed my attention. He's an underrated actor that tries to make interesting stuff. The concept was actually original. When I saw WW2 I kinda rolled my eyes because we've seen it all before. But not this story. And it doesn't feel old, which was cool. And the character of Max was really good. I liked how he couldn't help but do the right thing. And how he knew what he was doing and doesn't hesitate to kill people. And his swearing was also a nice touch.

I also like that it wasn't hard to follow. Some shows expect you to remember someone's name once from 10 episodes ago. All the stories were different. And i like that the gruesome stuff wasn't really shown. Not that I'm against it but you don't always need to show it. And they didn't waste their time.

I really hope they make another season. And as a Star Wars fan it was nice to see Rich McCallum's name again.
