Reef Break (2019)
6/10
sun and surf and Poppy
31 January 2020
Former criminal and professional surfer Cat Chambers (Poppy Montgomery) returns to US territory Reef Island to testify against her former crime boss seeking parole. Jake Elliot (Ray Stevenson) is her ex-husband and the undercover FBI agent who turned her against the Shorepound syndicate. She has an one night stand with new police detective Wyatt Cole. Lieutenant governor Ana Dumont recruits her to assist in a kidnapping case. She tries to befriend Petra whose father was killed by Cat.

It's sun, and surf, and Poppy Montgomery. I don't mind any of it but they are all somewhat sunburnt. Poppy has been living off her free and easy beauty. She is well into her forties. It may be more compelling if she does a darker character. She continues to be the superior streetwise character bordering on arrogance. I also don't like the cast around her. She needs a fun sidekick. She needs a more prominent villain. This show needs a lot and is only scooping from the bottom of the cliche barrel. At least, it has the sunshine and beach. It's a summer replacement show that didn't go beyond its first season.
