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.
