Review of Too Close

Too Close (2021)
6/10
Questionable Choices in Supporting Character Casting Ruined It

Warning: Spoilers
There were elements of a great show here. I thought it was getting better episode by episode. A little too sunny an ending to be realistic. But the more I watched the more irritated I became when I realized that every person of color was one of the bad guys. The black neighbor Connie befriends betrays her with Connie's husband. The black ward nurse is neglectful and somewhat abusive toward Connie. She also comes across as lazy. The east Asian prescribing doctor or psychiatrist, from before the car off the bridge incident, practically throws an overdose of diazepam at Connie without checking her other medication and continues over prescribing, brushing it off with Emma and basically denying any wrongdoing. And then with Emma, her black college friend takes advantage of her after she reveals that she thinks her husband is having an affair, and tries to kiss her. I mean what were they thinking? It's very disappointing and sad that every minority is negatively portrayed in this show.
