Review of The Rig

The Rig (2023– )
5/10
Disappointing
16 January 2023
The premise sounded interesting and I like Emily Hampshire. But it seemed like the writing got worse with each episode. There are also plot holes regarding characters getting infected while some got worse, some inexplicably seemed to shake off the effects and some who appeared to get exposed, didn't have any effect. It was as if the writers forgot their own plot rules. And while scenes and dialogue are at times gripping, at other times the dialogue is so bad that it is cringeworthy.

Emily Hampshire is a very attractive, appealing actress. But apparently, the idea was to tone down her looks as much as possible to focus on the story and her character. That's fine, but if she took the part to demonstrate her acting chops, she chose a vehicle that is so poorly written that she comes across as a "B" movie actress in a poor sci-fi story.

If the dialogue and plot holes get cleaned up, this could be a good series. But the writers have a lot of work to do.
