Delete Me 2021

This is a cautionary tale, told backwards. If it had been told chronologically you would see a tale of innocence lost. By telling it backwards, I think they hoped you would have wondered what happened. I’m not sure it made it the thriller they hoped it would be and I think the reversion fractured our connection to the characters, which is crucial if you want it to be a cautionary tale or an engaging story. (Was that convoluted enough for you? It was analogous to the failed storytelling of this series.). Amalia Holm (Bjelke) is a star by any standards. (I followed her here from MOTHERLAND: FORT SALEM) It’s a tragic tale, poorly organized. I give this limited series a 4 (poor) out of 10. [Drama]
