Reprisal

To my mind, this show is evoking, rather than actually set in the 1950's.

Stylish, slick production. Great acting and dialogue, resulting in an engrossing yet slightly creepy, noir vibe.

It's almost criminal that Reprisal was canceled after only one season. It had such potential to grow as a series. It's a revenge thriller about a woman who was left for dead by her brother and his gang. She puts together her own crew to help complete her revenge. This is an incredibly fun and well acted thriller about revenge. It will hook you from the start and keep you entertained throughout the series! For a revenge show it's smart and surprising. I didn't really know what to expect but I'm so glad I gave it a chance because I was pleasantly surprised. If you're looking for a fun show to binge then give this a try.

This series was beautifully dark intriguing and unusual with great story telling.

There could have been a spin off series just about the Monster Crew. Craig Tate and Wavvy Jonez play their characters brilliantly.

Just sorry we will never get a conclusion because it ends on a knife edge.

Katherine Harlow (Abigail Spencer) is left for dead by her murderous brother Burt Harlow, leader of the Banished Brawlers. Years later, she re-emerges as Doris Quinn as she seeks her revenge. Matty (Rhys Wakefield) leads a trio working for the Brawlers. Meredith (Madison Davenport) is a schemer working the strip bar.

This is lots of style. It's super pulpy. I can't quite call it style over substance. There is some substance here but it's moving at a slower pace. That's why it seems like the style is lapping the substance. It would also be helpful for Katherine's story to be cleaner at the beginning. She doesn't need as much back story as she has. She just needs to be a B out of hell. The only back story she needs is the opening where she's left to die. The first couple of episodes are a bit too confused. All in all, I love the style. I do wish the substance to move faster but the style compensates for that.
