Review of Inside Man

Inside Man (II) (2022)
6/10
So far ok, reviews are more annoying than the show

Warning: Spoilers
After two episodes I find the show entertaining enough to watch. Yes you need a lot of suspension of disbelief, yes it's unlikely to happen in real life like this, but it's still a good enough watch.

What made me write a review really is others' opinions below. A bunch of reviews mention how unrealistic it is for a whole bunch of people to ignore a jerk on public transport who is being disgusting with a young girl. I agree that the girl's reaction is a bit hard to believe in hindsight after we learn about her personality. But the indifference of others... Well, I've lived that scenario more times than I care to remember. In my home country or in the UK, it was always the same. Nobody gives a toss if a lone female is abused, even if it goes further than pictured here. Even if the abuser is a skinny little nothing, and there are 20 able bodied men around. They just ignore you, just as pictured. There were times when I actively called out to the ones near me for help, they pretended not to hear me. I went to the driver, he didn't want to bother either. One time a few 15ish punk boys finally helped me, ones I really did not expected to, while father-aged men just kept reading their newspapers. Other than that, everyone always looks away. Same when I was 10 and really frightened, or when I was older. So you can say that this series is very unrealistic and I'll agree with you. But that scene that you all seem to feel was so impossible - well it was spot on.
