Under the Bridge

I've watched another show with Riley Keough in it so I thought I'd give this a look. Glad I did. Storyline was somewhat common but well played by everyone. Very different seeing Archie Panjabi act in a venerable role. Police procedures were stretched a little but it's Hollyweird, right? Was surprised to learn it was based on a true story. Overall, I would recommend this show. Did not realize the true suspect until really near the end.

Good show. Sad story. I dont know the real story, but i can see this happening. Unfortunately! You can skip one episode and not miss a thing. Its like they had to just make it longer. Once again, though, hollywood has to put homosexuals in place for no reason whatsoever!

Under the Bridge (2024) - ❤x7

This show is good, a good mystery, and it's also a bit sad and frustrating. A couple of the characters are just absolutely horrible people. One very annoyingly overbearing mother, and one insane little girl obsessed with New York and John Gotti.
The true story behind this show is just as sad, horrific, and tragic.

How I rate:
1-3 ❤ = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 ❤ = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 ❤ = I expect you will like this too
9-10 ❤ = movies and TV shows I really love!

From reading about it, the true story is very far from what we saw here. A lot of things have changed because they do not fit the television narrative and the drama.
Beyond the good acting from Cam the show was mediocre and too long for episodes and number. A lot of unnecessary stuff, the relationship of the writer and the boy was creepy also very stupid in terms of trusting him too much.

The girl was pure evil and the sentence was a joke (although apparently not real).
Anyway, nothing so spectacular or memorable.

Show starts off ok but by episode 3 it becomes unbearably cringy. There is not a single likable character here. It may be based on true events but those events where not that interesting, original or captivating…

I stopped halfway through episode 3 and won't be continuing. Everyone talking about how cringe it is are spot on. The fact this is rated so high (currently 71%) is baffling.

This show is difficult to watch at times as there are so many poor decisions being made and sad circumstances that cannot be avoided. Without being preach-y it manages to highlight the plights of immigrants who are being discriminated against, Natives who have had their identity stripped presumably from boarding schools, closeted queers existing in the 80s and 90s, troubled white teens, and the criminal justice system. It's dark, but Riley, Lily, and Vritika bring strong performances I can't look away.

I felt they could have done it with less episodes. But I enjoyed it.
