Review of Mosaic

Mosaic (2018)
4/10
Not awful but not good
29 January 2018
Warning: Spoilers
From the beginning, it seemed intriguing. I loved how series started exploring life of Olivia before her death, I loved that we found out a lot of things about her life. However, it was too slow and there might have been many unnecessary moments. As the story progresses after Olivia's death, show becomes better. I liked Petra dynamics. However, most suspects were offscreen, they were mentioned but not shown. Not sure how to feel about that. It became a lot better than the beginning at the end but somehow the writers managed to mess improvement up. The ending was unrealistic. First, Joel's confession. Sure, he had some problems in past but his memories came OUT OF NOWHERE. Even if he didn't remember what he was doing/where he was at the time Olivia was murdered, it made 0 sense. And the second thing that didn't make sense. Petra. She was honestly my favorite character. She was fighting to prove her brother's innocence so hard, and all of sudden she's OK with Joel going to jail after his confession even though she knows he is innocent. It just doesn't make sense. Suddenly she doesn't care anymore. I understand Joel is no one for her but I don't buy that after all that, she couldn't care less. Alan suddenly became very supportive of Petra. That didn't make much sense either. There were many unnecessary moments that just confused me as a viewer. We never saw what happened to Joel, or even Eric (I think he should have appeared in the finale, even for a minute maybe), also that lead detective. I disliked last scene because it was out of context. Did Petra get inspired with Olivia's work all of sudden? Taking consideration things mentioned above, it was an average show, boring at times. Peaked in 3-5 episodes but as I said above, finale completely destroyed improvement after first two episodes. The worst thing for me is the UNREALISTIC ending, which made me regret watching the show.
