Review of Wisting

Wisting (2019– )
6/10
Plodding, uninspired but okay
1 January 2020
This wasn't awful, just a bit bland. The characters are wooden and uninteresting, the dialog dull, and there are stereotypes everywhere. The treatment of the FBI is just awkward-at times too reverential, at times critical of supposed cowboy tendencies. The writers manage to make everyone sound silly.

The first half of the season is the opposite of murder mysteries where everyone is briefly a suspect and you wonder who it will finally be. Here, though there are one or two red herrings, you'll probably figure out the solution fairly early on. And some of the coincidences are annoying. I actually preferred the latter half of the season.

A little more imagination would have made this more watchable, particularly when each storyline takes so many episodes to come to a resolution.
