Poster for Pagan Peak
An absolute disappointment and disaster, Antic, who does not come here, was the most fascinating character and her looming presence even when gone was sidelined for some of the most ridiculous storytelling decisions. Her not being there had a deleterious presence when you consider the change of heart of the German cop which made no sense and her sympathy for the him. His plot was terrible, draggy and worse, the initial enmity and switch was stupid and you have a gaping hole left at the end, the unwillingness of the show to play on that element, creating this boring tale of justice being vague never worked, a lot of the German cop's arguments were beyond ridiculous, leaving you scratching to wonder what she's implying, what justice for him but not Antic? The issue is that the storyline it went with was so sloppy and Antic being the key, the clutch, never went away, it cannot, and you have a cliffhanger from the previous season discarded for some silly mewlings that never quite hits, what is funny is that you can have both ideas there, getting justice for Antic and his own struggle, but the latter never came through, it feels selfish until the end and the fact that no tension existed against them, with plot holes galore all helping them move forward, you have in essence a rather vapid and failure in every theme and idea this show put out. By the very end, we care nothing about everything else and wonder what is the fate of Antic, even if she isn't there, of justice and ties and how they collide, but the show bizarrely decided to mire the audience in quite frankly a selfish story that is dull and pointedly irritating as it seems to not just be cliche-riddled but just worthless to tell and worse to sit through. it's just strange how clueless it all is and when you consider the plot holes, it's clear they are trying to push through this new switch, by never confronting their decisions, for example, the gun in the car, the scheming to put case files in restaurant which is odd as you'd think there'd be CCTVs, every plot hole you can imagine is there just to tell us a story that is bland and vapid and derivative while ignoring the one with immense potential and idea. The final scene in the last episode was a good indicator, two characters, never ever rising up or giving us anything to think or care about, just flailing away. That final line by her to the other cop investigating her sums it up, the whole commit injustice for justice, trying to play with the anatagonists own form of justice, it was just facile and stupid, it was inane to the point you wonder why all this effort for this and even then, where is Antic's justice, the threads, from her visit to the father of Antic, never lined up and once it ended, the whole show can be described as a dreary disaster and soporific bore.
