I Dropped It
I see a lot of people in the comments so eager to defend their favs they can't even tolerate people not enjoying this.
So let me tell you right now before you use your predetermined defense to ignore my points that I LOVE a good mystery. I loved the 1st half of DFF, all the Knives Out films, am thoroughly enjoying GBYFD and also sorta intrigued by DYTD; I watch murder mysteries and documentaries all the time, one of my all time favourite series is The Haunting (both Hill House and Bly Manor).
The problem with Melody of Secrets? The mystery simply hasn't proven itself to be good.
Nor did anything else, really.
The chemistry is non-existing, the plot doesn't move one bit, the characters barely even work at their jobs. They keep trynna sell you confusion but what they're selling you is actually frustration because nothing happens, nothing changes, nothing moves.
And then after this lukewarm still water 3 episodes they try to get you with a predictable plot twist and a hand full of nothing. How am I supposed to say it's good? Honestly? It sucks. That's it. It just sucks.
