Review of Payback

Payback (I) (2023)
8/10
Overall good solid writing, acting and storylines
22 January 2024
Although the character of 'Lexie' is a bit far-fetched and a few others not all that credible (Derek Russell's role was irritating and his acting mediocre frankly), the acting by most was very solid and believable. The many unpredictable twists and turns were handled quite well and kept the suspense going. Most appreciated is the fact that the background music did not intrude the way far too many do these days when series are weak in the content. Also, there was no need for constant swearing, smoking or abundance of graphic violence. This proves that the writing and character development are strong enough to hold the viewer's attention. Despite a few flaws and weak scenarios (Cal's daughter was an unnecessary distraction), the overall quality held up and most roles were well acted. One of the better productions out of Scotland and certainly entertaining. The ending was satisfying but a bit abrupt. Still, not a bad series.
