Just started this. Probably helps I don’t have high expectations. It showed up in a Netflix category under my profile called Psychos (don’t judge)we started watching Reckoning on Netflix last night. pretty much a stock cop vs serial killer show. checks a lot of the stereotypical boxes.
that was enough bait to catch my wife's attention, but what made her take the hook is all of the actors (save 1) are like the 3rd or 4th tier options for their respective roles. like the Netflix execs said to the creators of this show "we want a cop show and we want Alec Baldwin in the lead".. and the creators said "how about if we can get a guy who looks like the body double of Alec Baldwin's backup body double and his acting is on par with that guy's?" and Netflix said "make it".
she loves shows that fit a certain profile, but which have actors no one has ever seen before who are really not good at their job.
the lead cop looks like a combo of Old Brendan Fraser / that guy from Castle / the other Baldwin (maybe Steven).
and the other guy is the shape shifting bar owner from true blood.
