Review of Origin

Origin (2018)
4/10
Excellent Production Value Let Down By Lazy Writing
23 January 2022
I can't begin to convey how awesome and how terrible this show is. It has amazing production values, pretty good acting, great direction, a great story and simply terrible writing. The writers continually use pathetic and unbelievable plot devices to move the story forward which are so full of glaring plot holes that one is continually brought out of the story.

I find this show desperately frustrating to watch. I'm invested still, but I just wish the writers wouldn't treat the audience like they're idiots. Once or even twice is forgivable but I find myself rolling my eyes multiple times each episode. I guess I'm more frustrated with myself than anything because I know I'm going to continue watching despite myself.

TBH I would have expected better from Anderson and boy, am I glad there's no Season 2.
