Jackson & Malone

Within the first half hour of the series it is clear that the series lacks vision. It seems the director didnt know if he was diricting a comedy or a thriller. It was supposed to be a humorous and orriginal take on a detective. But it lacks all the necessary refinement and acting talent to pull that off. A lot of American style thriller tropes are mixed with Dutch country side cliches. The result is exiting nor funny. Maybe they were aiming for a Dutch version of Twin Peaks or Fargo. But the script is too blunt and direct. The director and overall design give constant mixed messages weather to laugh or be frightend. The acting is below par. Too stage like. To many different accents. But maybe we cant blame the actors; no way they could have had a sense of the kind of series they were a part of. As a viewer, I still dont know after watching the end result.
