Inside Man (II) (2022)
Good story but whacky plot holes
2 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
After watching all four episodes, including the after credits segment in ep4, we learn throughout that the imprisoned maths teacher is a loner, has no friends, no love life, no clubs, no dating, no mention of a husband, a rather sad person with no personal life.

In the segment after the credits in ep4, she shows up to meet with Tucci's character to figure out a way to kill her...husband? Where did that come from? I wish I didn't watch that last part.

We also never learn what was so special about Tucci's wife's head. He made a big spiel about how after finding her head, everyone will understand why he had to chop it off. Her face was just so horrible. Was she a vampire or something? Maddening.

Sending the authorities to the Vicar's house because he figured out she was being held captive there was utterly ingenious (especially after he got a confession beat out of him).

There are other plot holes that could've been rightly fixed, but I thought this was one of the better shows by Moffat. Not as good as his Dracula limited series, which I recommend everyone watch on Netflix. I can understand it's not to everyone's tastes, but I found it mesmerizing. Watched it twice.

I hope Netflix does more shows with Moffat. He's very talented but needs a good story editor before it gets filmed. I see Netflix didn't get all woke with this limited series and just focused on the basics.

I didn't appreciate the cracks about Christianity, calling Jesus' rising on the third day a "fairy tale" and other insults. That's the Vicar's wife saying that. Talk about a Jezebel. Completely unnecessary.

Some will hate it, some will love it. But it's not as bad as many people are making it out to be and the dialogue is so much better than the crap on any channel or service. That seems to be Netflix's new motto: hire better writers, get better products. Well, duh!
