The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh: Review

The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh is full of tired stereotypes that are reminiscent of early 2000s comedies and not in a fun way that seems outdated in the modern age. Had this show released a decade or two earlier then it would have fitted better, but it lacks enjoyment even with a talented cast and hijinks in the plot, it doesn’t seem to combine well due to bad writing. 

Caddo Lake could have been a strong mysterious movie, but without a clear narrative, it can leave a lot to be desired. While Caddo Lake does take some narrative risks that doesn’t quite pay off, the performances by O’Brien and Scanlen save the production. Without O’Brien or Scanlen, Caddo Lake would have been hard to get through. While some plots can be overly confusing, Caddo Lake is very atmospheric, and a great watch for the spooky season!

There’s almost something ridiculous about the show that works great in combining the dark humour and the murderous nature of the show. Main character Rhiannon can keep the series fresh with her reckless actions and balances the self-titled vigilante and victim well to justify her crimes and fix her mistakes. It is a revenge fantasy coming to life but full of grounded characters in heightened situations that make for a fun and interesting series that focuses on character.

Chemistry is key in the romantic drama "Nobody Wants This." Bell and Brody's believable chemistry helps build up Joanne and Noah's relationship, with Brody bringing a calm and endearing quality to Noah. Despite shorter episodes, the story focusses on their romantic relationship, with subplots enhancing their dynamic. The predictable pattern in the episodes can be frustrating, but supporting characters like Morgan and Sasha steal the show, adding depth to the series. The exploration of religion and culture falls short, lacking depth in Joanne's character.
