Mercy Street (2016)
Nice production values, stock characters
25 January 2016 - 7 out of 16 users found this review helpful.
I watched the first episode as I'm always interested in a new costume drama, but I found this show to be really crippled by stock, predictable characters, so many of them just plain mean with no sense of reality about it. I decided to hold out through another episode, and while, again, the production values are good and there are some actors and actresses that I generally like, the script and the character development (or lack thereof) has made this unwatchable for me.
The worst thing is that I keep reading such good reviews. What are people watching? If I wanted some Lifetime movie from two decades ago, this might be fine, but to tout this as the next Downton Abbey (where characters have nuances), is absurd!
