Spectros (2020)

Folio Swami

2.0

A very rudimentary story, that is neither interesting, nor it is worth 7 long episodes. Yet the chronology is twisted so they can go over and over the same scenes. And yes, simple minded audiences might enjoy the slow telenovela pace. And the camera and lighting are atrocious: 1990s home video quality. The script is so badly done, they need the child to tell the story, because all that action is just a distraction.

Ok, I’ll admit to going a bit nutty & joining TMDB to review this series. The concept is fascinating the execution (at times) and some of the characters are poor and annoying, in that order. First off, I’m not a fan of over the top characters with a possible exception of those populating the bizarro worlds created by Sensei Miike. I mean the whole idea of featuring Liberdade as contributing character rather than a backdrop would be amazing. But ok, even as a backdrop it’s cool so alright then. What pisses me off the most is the collective character of the police as a whole. They’re asshole…
