The Serpent (2021)
8/10
Great Interpretation of an Enduring Case
7 January 2021
Superb acting from the leads. Phenomenal costume and set design, and a great score.

You're skin crawls from the sheer creepiness of Charles Sohbraj the pure Sociopath.

This is a tense and gripping drama and the time hopping device is used to great effect as it underlines a cat and mouse came that spans across 5 or 6 countries over 20 years plus. Other reviewers said this instilled confusion and detracted from the plot... but it doesn't.... It enhances it as it keeps things flowing and on edge.

If you enjoy simple mindless and linear storytelling... watch Cobra Kai (which is still great).

This was a quality series that grips from beginning to end.
