Review of London Kills

London Kills (2019– )
2/10
This show is a train wreck...
7 February 2020
...but as with a real train wreck, you just keep watching. I've only watched the first season (4 episodes) so far. Don't know if I will watch more.

Why aren't there any other staff populating all the desks in the huge squad room? Camera work seems designed to hide the fact that there are no other people around. Lots of close-ups of faces. They could resort to old-fashioned matte shots. Surely there's a teenage CGI expert among the high schoolers producing this. I guess the cops in uniform are relatives of the production staff that they didn't have to pay much?

Tell Rob if he's going to make the Sign of the Cross when he encounters a corpse to at least do it correctly! It's forehead- chest- LEFT- RIGHT shoulder, not RIGHT- LEFT shoulder. Unless he's Byzantine or Russian Orthodox, in which case I apologize. They do it that way.

Also, could he and Hugo Speer please shave?

These cops are rude and disrespectful to each other, skeptical of each other's ideas, and keep information from each other. For no apparent reason. Vivienne is the original ice princess with (I presume) formaldehyde in her veins.

Billie the beautiful "trainee" is smarter and has more emotional intelligence than the "seasoned pros," but she is showing exceptionally poor judgment WRT to-- you know-- the dreadlocks/homeless girl. 'Nuff said. That can't possibly go well.
