Open Your Eyes - 2021 - 5/10
AKA - Otwórz Oczy
She wakes in the hospital bed. What happened? Where am I? Wait a minute … who am I?
Another day in the amnesia clinic for Julia.
An exclusive center, where all patients are young and talented. Gifted.
Also tightly watched and controlled.
Two episodes set up characters, stories, and the “surveillance village” concept.
Followed by three episodes where everyone twirls their thumbs.
Padding. Trying to make characters with the personalities of potatoes seem intriguing.
Then the last episode, where the plot is shuffled, and is suddenly interesting.
Why didn’t writers do this from the beginning? Why? Because they were told to deliver a Netflix ending.
Meaning, there ain’t no ending. Producers hope for a S02 for a series with more fat than an elephant seal.
Dull writing, weighted down with zombie actors.
