Collateral
3/10
I
watched this series on Netflix called Collateral. There are over
twenty characters which would be fine if there were 1 episodes or
something. But there are four. In four episodes they have to squeeze
in all these people, their stories, their history, and do some
detecting at the same time. It did not work. The basic story is that
a pizza boy gets shot after delivering pizza and the next thing you
know there is this giant web of deceit. I shit you not, I can barely
even recall what was trying to be stopped. I thought maybe some drug
thing. But then there is a soldier with PTSD that ends up raped by a
commanding officer. A pregnant cop played by Carey Mulligan. A
partner that yells at her. A detention camp. A baby birth. Some bad
dudes killing potential witnesses. A priest that is gay and harboring
a Vietnamese woman that she is in love with. An alcoholic drug using
mother played by Billie Piper. By the way, all these people are
connected in some way. Its pretty ridiculous.
I
could not recommend this show to anyone. There was nothing that stood
out about it. The story was bland. The acting was okay-ish. There was
just so much this tried to do in a small amount of time. Hell, I
think even if they did this twice as long it would not have been
enough time to cover all the shit that they were throwing at me. Dead
serious. I just finished watching this and can not tell you how it
ended exactly. But I am happy to discover Piper's face. She's my type. Discovered I had a type last year!
