Review of Kindred

Kindred (2022)
6/10
Script all over the place with hysterical characters ...
6 April 2023
I am trying to watch this but ufff... first off: this script is overly dramatic, every character is hysterically crazy.., everyone, from Kevin's sister, to Dana's niece and husband, the neighbors... everyone is suspicious of each other .... everyone travelled over from some B-movie into this ...Malori Johnson isn't giving much but one type of stare... From episode one, from since she met the Kevin character, but also already her conversation with her niece and her husband ... an empty stare all the time.... and also when she switches times she is not behaving like a 21st century woman who is educated and feels free and independent... What's going on here? Bad direction? Bad actors? I mean, most of the characters are soap opera style over the top ... While the subject is such an important one to tell and I am normally into all types of time travel stories. I am not just getting irritated and angry at the white characters who are overtly racist (which is a good thing to get irritated about) but I am getting pulled from this screen-world, back to reality because the actors are acting so grotesque or like the Dana character so static, that I am feeling irritated just by the bad acting, and that script, the suspicious hysteria all the time... you'd think this is a story about some mass psychosis or some virus in the air that makes people go crazy ... and the Dana's mother character.... she's from the twentieth century, right? Stuck there in time for over 12 years? But she is behaving like she is from the 19th century, born and raised. Why? It is all these details not matching up... I am at episode 3... I'll try to finish it, but man...
