Season 1 Review: No performances stand out, but Ms. Patton and Devon Sawa are fine as the odd-couple investigators. Read full review

I'll break down the review in the following three categories:

Directing The directing is serviceable. Editing is fine. Apart from a complete failure in guiding Paula Patton on her facial expressions, there's not much to complain about. 6/10 Writing The writers had an interesting conceptI'll break down the review in the following three categories:

Directing
The directing is serviceable. Editing is fine. Apart from a complete failure in guiding Paula Patton on her facial expressions, there's not much to complain about. 6/10

Writing
The writers had an interesting concept but they seemingly had no idea how to write a story around it. It also doesn't help that there is a glaringly obvious loose plot thread. Some of the minor characters are so incredibly stupid that they defy all reason. The lead child character is supposed to be sassy but she comes off as insufferable, frankly she's one of the worst child characters on TV. It's also never explained if she's adopted or the writers just forgot how genes work. The script is poorly written, especially Serena's lines. 5/10

Acting
Now comes the biggest problem: Paula Patton's acting. I'm not familiar with her previous work but her over-exaggerated expressions killed this show. Frankly most of the time when she's in a scene with the male lead Devon Sawa, she looks like she's having an orgasm. She's often panting, seemingly out of breath for no reason at all! At other times, she looks like she's drunk or high. Furthermore, Aria Birch, the child actor playing Serena, sometimes completely fails to act (for example pretend to sleep) which is cringe-worthy. The show is held together by the male actors, mainly the lead Devon Sawa who does his best to play an alcoholic ex cop/bounty hunter good guy. 3/10

Conclusion
Somewhere Between has an interesting premise but directionless writing, mediocre script, poorly written characters and over-exaggerated acting by its female lead never really let's the Series reach the heights it showed the potential of reaching in its pilot episode. Rating Average: 4.5/10… Expand
