Likely an unpopular opinion
Pardon this semi-rant. I’ve been watching Ballard (PrimeVideo). I can’t believe this show has such a high rating, and is being considered for a second season when Bosch has already been announced as cancelled.
It’s an OK show, a B+ at best. Decent production, but the acting…. The acting is pretty wooden with the exception of Courtney Taylor and John C Lynch, who both put in good performances. Much better has been seen by Maggie Q in the past, this just isn’t one of her better projects.
I’m just disappointed that this show is getting such plaudits. It’s ok, it’s better than most pap, NCIS SVU etc, but have our expectations dropped so much that this is being held up as the best out there?
