Briarpatch (2019–2020)
8/10
Based on the pilot
9 February 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This has the potential to be a hit.

In some respects, it reminds me of the excellent Banshee show, though it remains to be seen, if it is as violent..... but the uneasy feeling is there.

What drops the pilot in rating a bit, is a prolonged scene in the protagonists sisters apartment: After she has been discovered by the chief of police and given permission to search the place, she never turns on the lights, but keeps searching by a flashlight alone..... it irritated me immensely, because it made no sense ;)

Other than that, the story line is interesting (so far), Rosario Dawson a compelling protagonist "with an edge", and the supporting cast is very good indeed, as is filmography and score.

I will be watching closely to see, if the show fulfills the promise.
