Point Pleasant

Drama, thriller or genre crossover? Unfortunately, a little bit of everything. While the storyline initially opens up engagingly, it later unnecessarily recedes into the background, leaving much more space for a mysterious atmosphere. To catch your breath, even just before the end. I don't exactly know what to complain about because the whole series is filled with tension and significant surprises, and anytime Lucas appears, I can't help but become a fan. But this story deserved a proper resolution. One of the creators, Marti Noxon, admitted that during the filming of the finale, it was clear that there would be no continuation, and even though the escalated situation won't change many things and important plotlines will remain open, the last minutes clearly showed me that Point Pleasant wouldn't work with multiple seasons. In the end, considering the ongoing high satisfaction, it was a slightly surprising slight disappointment, but still excellently directed, unpredictable, and subtly anti-church series. 75% (31.05.2009)
