“Black Spot” thoughts, Season One, Episode Eight: “The End Is Only the Beginning”

Black Spot has a strong, quiet cast that does great work with what they’re given. It’s as good at landscapes and intimate closeups as any show you’d care to name right now. I mean, look at this:

Black Spot Episode 8 INCREDIBLE LANDSCAPE SHOT

Black Spot Episode 8 LAUREN AND CORA

But as long as it keeps both telegraphing and pulling its punches, depending on the episode, it’s never going to feel worthy of the raw material with which it’s working. It will never see the forest for the trees.

I reviewed the season finale of Black Spot for Decider.
