Colman Domingo’s first major television role
Tale
Media mogul Muncie Daniels must fight for his innocence and his life after he stumbles upon a murder deep in the Poconos.
As a fan of over-the-top murder mystery limited series, I was hooked on the concept
The show had an interesting premise and a lot of initial promise, but got lost along the way.
However, it felt like it was originally written as a multi-season show but was condensed into an eight-episode miniseries
The result was an overstuffed story with a lot of side plots and characters, with no development that only loosely tied into the main plot.
Each plot had potential, but was short, making the story feel empty and confusing
It seemed like all the right ingredients for a 5-star dish were there, but the chef ran out of time and just mixed it all up and served it up.
The ending was particularly depressing – not entirely bad, just disappointingly bland
It failed to create any strong emotions, good or bad, because there was little to connect with.
