Yash B @yashbansal 9h "Long Bright River" starts out with a truly engaging mystery with lots of intrigue. I also think the show highlights some important topics, and I admired it for that. Amanda Seyfried is terrific in the lead role, and her performance is easily the biggest highlight of the show. I do think 8 episodes does make this series run a little long, and often it does feel like it is spinning its wheels. I can see how it may be better as a book, as it is based on one. I still think it is a decent one-time watch, but I also think there are better miniseries out there with a similar vibe and higher-quality storylines. Overall, the show is just okay, but Seyfried does a commendable job in the lead role.

However, I wish it had focused more on the investigation; at times, it felt like there were too many storylines happening at once. the series would have been stronger if it had centered more on Mickeys relationship with her sister and the actual investigation. The romance felt unnecessary, and the double date she had with the medical examiner and her husband didn’t add much to the storyline. It is worth watching all the way through though. Still, it is worth watching all the way through.

If this drama focused on the murders instead of PC borings family life it might be passable.... it isn't See more S R Dec 9 The overall story is interesting. But there are too many less interesting Sloooooow diversions and the season is 3-4 episodes too long. Very strong acting but most episodes are a slog to get through. And the lead makes some very frustrating bad decisions. Would not have put in the time if I could do it over again. See more Diane L Nov 11 This was a great series with great actors! I binged watched the entire series in one long afternoon. It is definitely worth watching See more S T Oct 3 The weird afro hairstyles make the series somewhat fake. In realife I cannot see a medical examiner with this kind of hair. See more Read all reviews
