Home Before Dark (2020– )
6/10
Watching Season 2 looks worse than 1
26 June 2021
Season 1 was watchable (hence the 6)because of the originality of the premise of the series but even then I found it weird that the parents allow a 9-year to go around anywhere at anytime but still the story was good.

But Season 2 its just getting annoying. The girl has just 2 reactions either she is rude or she is crying. She just demands attention, feels she can walk into a police station and they have to drop everything and follow her. The entitlement is annoying, disrespectful and sets a bad role model for kids watching the show.

And the parenting is got worse where a daughter comes after dark from a unknown place and the father's concern seems to be more on her reaction rather than on why on a school night she is out that late. And Jim Sturgess is so one-dimensional and annoying with same voice modulation when he talks to Hilde, you wonder what the director is doing. Please no parent maintains the same tone and voice modulation when they talk to their kids. It is impossible and artificial.

Doubt I will continue watching this.
