Man, I wanted to like this
Line of Events
Media commentator Muncie Daniels must fight for his innocence and his life after stumbling upon a murder deep in the Poconos. Colman Domingo’s first starring role on TV. I’ve liked other things Colman has done, but this is a waste of time.
He’s not that kind of leading man
Some really questionable and predictable writing choices and, I’m sorry to say, not great acting overall. And poor Colman is just out of place here. He reminded me of when Tyler Perry tried to play Alex Cross.
Just not believable
As the series dragged on, and scene after scene of two people inexplicably whispering plot points to each other (why not SHOW US?), it was really hard to stay awake. Watching Colman run was painful. It always makes me laugh when non-athletic actors get the opportunity to play action-packed roles.
On to the next one
(He wasn’t good at action in Fear the Walking Dead, and he’s not here either.) He always turns me off and it reeks of a vanity project. His mouth is hanging open in every scene when he’s «thinking» (a sign that he’s uncomfortable and worried about playing a «straight» role, in my opinion). Not everyone can be an action star.
