The Lost Plot The series starts out promising, though rather implausible.
But the pace quickly drops and there's really nothing to engage the viewer - no tension, no suspense, no mysteries, no reveals, no thrills. It was slow and fairly predictable despite the messy plot and ever-unravelling loose ends.
Halfway through I wondered if I should cut my losses and skip the rest of the series. I decided to plod through, but the last few episodes felt like a chore.
I was rewarded for my tenacity with the big reveal; only a surprise because there had been no build up and I had forgotten, or simply stopped caring, about the aspect, limply unveiled and ultimately flat.
You could speed watch this in three episodes, the first and last (obviously) and another from the first half (they became a bit of a blur so I can't remember which one exactly) and not know you had missed anything.
The final episode sums up the anti-climax when it limps on for almost ten minutes of dialogue in three final scenes after the 'climax'.
Even the attempt to set up a second series and hook the viewer was limp.
Watch Alias instead.
