Review of The Divide

The Divide (2014)
6/10
Substandard acting, decent script, overall worthwhile
8 April 2018
Seemingly filmed on the fly, too many scenes have an incomplete feeling because more takes were needed to flesh out the performances. Damon Gupton is the worst offender, his lines are delivered as if he's reading them. This is an important point because the series relies on the interactions between characters but you never have the chance to care about them because it's so hard to relate to one-dimensional acting. It's not the actors' fault. There doesn't seem to have been enough time or budget to stretch out the the story and develop relationships between the characters. Too bad because the series is based on an intriguing plot that deserves to be handled with more aplomb. If you don't mind not caring about the characters, you may enjoy this series just to see how it all unfolds.
