When amazon released information about "The Consultant" (the casting of Christoph Waltz) and later the trailer my hype was vary high, i was vary curious about the show . I did binge of one day on all the episodes and I must say I am vary disappointed, its been a while since I watch such a bad tv show.
I think there is 3 reason why it is so bad:
1) payoff- there is many thing in that show that not coming to solution, thing that are important to the story such as how the consulting Convinced people to do many thing, how did he know that the bad thing going to happen, why these companies? . If the point is that he is the devil or any supernatural power so the story didn't hinted at it. And if he is really the devil and the point is Deal with the Devil why this company why this people. There is many thing that didn't get to reward.
2) the consultant- Christoph Waltz did such an amazing villains in the past for example Inglorious Basterds and here where he had the chance to make an amazing performance he disappointing. A very incoherent performance he is jerk boss and there is moments where he is vary Cruel and "Boss from hell", but this moments are few. He is a mystery person and there is something strange about him but at some point it began to be gimmicky.
3) comedy and drama- The Consultant tagged as dramedy. For me there is a few moment of comedy. I think the drama happen sometimes due to Nat Wolff and Brittany O'Grady they are the emotional anchor and the point of view for the TV viewers. I must say the drama Not so noticeable for me and this is because i don't have emotional identification. They really did their best and there is moment of fanomenal acting but there is moment of that the bad performance.
