docm-32304 Review of The Dead Zone

The Dead Zone (2002–2007)

Schizophrenic writing/directing to the point of being annoying

[5/10 · 24 November 2023]

I somewhat liked the series, but it is inconsistent in it's quality. The actors are good for the most part, but many of the episodes can be just convoluted messes. Did Frederico Fellini have a hand in some of them? There were times where Johnny played multiple roles that jumped around and it felt like the director was purposely trying to see how annoying and confusing he could be to the audience. Sometimes the star was the perp, sometimes himself, somethimes everybody in the scenes. It would be nice to have some consistency in how he sees his predictions. We had to fast forward a number of episodes that were just plain stupid in their visions.
