Sooo good
The first half of this show up until ep 12 or something was a solid 9/10. It was light-hearted, funny, well acted. Sure some scenes were cheesy as hell but it was great fun. Then the mystery plot started. It wasn't bad and I was invested in it since it affected our characters and the comedy, which is the show's true strength still existed, albeit muted due to the gravity of the murder investigation plot.
Once the killer was revealed, which was so predictable, because there was literally no other character who it could have been, things went downhill really fast. It was as if the show was written by completely different person, nothing made sense, it was suddenly so full of illogical plotholes. I didnt understand how our FL could see his blackscreen once he was revealed, but not before when she kept touching his bum at multiple junctures. The fact that she can now hear sounds during that blackscreen is also a convenient new development. Why do they see the blackscreen because of the sunglasses? Its supposed to be darker, not completely black, especially when he was out there attacking people in the streets where there was street lights. If the logic is that the FL can see whatever the person whose bum she's touching sees, then logically she should have been able to see through the sunglasses as well.
Why was the killer killing people? It seems like he said he wanted revenge initially, but then he liked the act itself. That sounds like a cop out because there wasnt much motive for him to go from never having killed for 40 or so years of his life but suddenly he can read minds and he felt like he needed to go on a killing spree. Whatever happened to his young son?
Honestly the last few episodes were so bad that I couldnt even find any motivation to watch ep 16, but it was something I had to do, to finish. I docked 2 points from my earlier rating and lament the fall of what was prob one of my most enjoyed show so far.
