Guilty Party (2021)
3/10
A patchwork quilt made from better shows
14 October 2021
I've only watched the first two episodes, but I doubt I'll be back for more. This series has a patched-together quality about it, as if the creators took little bits and pieces - a character here, a plot device there - from other shows and tried to weave them into something, hoping it would appear new and different. It doesn't.

The basic plot - discredited journalist seeking redemption - has been done to death, and with bigger stars and better writing. The characters are all weird and quirky, but not in a very appealing way - most of them come across as fundamentally selfish and exploitative. They're not bad enough to be truly entertaining, but not good enough to make us care about them.

In short, I think this show is a waste - a waste of some talented (or at least competent) actors, a waste of money in terms of production costs, and a waste of time for anyone watching it.
