Netflix's sci-fi series Between reaches new lows in its fifth and penultimate episode. Here's Mark's review...
This review contains spoilers.
1.5 End Of The Rope
The quality of the writing and performing demonstrate no ambitions to improve in the penultimate Between. If it wasn’t already, the game is up in episode 5.
And by that I mean that the show entirely throws off any premise of being ‘science fiction’, because instead what it turns out to be is a cheap, cliché-riddled and uninteresting show about teenage angst. But what really shocks me is the lack of variation between the characters, because other than their appearance it would be hard to separate them based purely on their ability to make poor choices or how generally deluded they are.
It starts with Pat doing the right thing, by doing the wrong thing, sending Wiley to get medical supplies while holding her baby hostage.
