The Mosquito Coast (2021)
I so desperately wanted this to good
That I watched 5 episodes so far. There's just not enough there to make this a series with substance.
The cinematography is great. The acting is ok in places but the mannerisms are getting on my nerves. The family are completely enstranged and disconnected from each other but are supposed to be this tight knit bunch who have no one but each other in this world. The wife resents and mistrusts her husband but is supposed to follow him blindly into each new venture where absolutely nothing is known or shared inside the family. They have managed to lay low for 10 years, have everything planned out but at every turn do the most reckless thing imaginable. The kids are kept in the dark and rebel without rebelling.
I'm still hoping it turns around, but about halfway into the series I'm skeptical at best.
