I'd like to rate it higher, as the first 2 acts were very much on point; Entertaining, well written, well paced, visually impressive. There's some stand out moments and although Zegler & Blyth don't set the world on fire with their on screen chemistry, there's still enough of it there to buy in and get invested in the character, enough at least to care about their fates.
Alas, much like the last part of the Original Hunger Games trilogy, they failed to stick the landing. The third act goes om too long and is slow paced so it feels like it goes on even longer. The third act throws the leads somewhat weak chemistry on the clay pigeon launcher and shouts pull. The third act seems to want to be a far more intellectual film that sits terribly with the YA content that it's based on, which balances the film terribly.
I still enjoyed it, but the third act dragged the whole film down overall.

How I managed to sit through this show is nothing short of a miracle comparable to the one on the Hudson.
Every character is insufferable, every line grates on you like nails on a blackboard, while being delivered by an actor or actress as out of place and over the top, as the SNL crew trying to do the most serious of Shakespeare. Every joke is either as bland and inoffensive as a 1950s knock knock joke or as aggressively woke as a Lilly Singh skit on an American college campus.
I'm not sure if this show has any redeeming features, but I can't find them.... I don't know if the BBC made this show, but all their fingerprint hallmarks are there.
