I watched that show Captain Fall awhile back. It got mixed reception on account of how dark & awkward the humour could get(I read there was a bit of cultural differences with the humour). I feel like the show def had potential! Especially in terms with Johnathan and his innocence amongst the corrupted cruise. I think it couldβve been good if they centered more around that like when he was entertaining those smugglers & the kids in Cultural Exchange. I think the show needed more moments like that, good chunk he was knocked out or when they were lying to him, didnβt take too much to trick him. Like donβt get me wrong, it makes sense, but maybe they visible played with that more(then again it ended on just 1 season so maybe they had more in store but didnβt get the chance)
Imagine if it focused more on him getting to be involved with cruise stuff while they were doing illegal stuff & the crew having to actually juggle that while also keeping him in the dark with the cruise charade! Thatβs pretty good B-Plot stuff, him trying his best to be a legit captain, with the crew having to constantly hide their illegal activity from him/distract him with actual/fake jobs for his job as their βCaptainβ. I also think it couldβve been good to empathize on his good/genuine nature amongst everyone else. Show him being a truly sweet person & actually bringing out a lil better in people, them being genuinely surprised of his honesty & sincerity. Especially since theyβve been so used to schemes & cruelty. Especially to make them feel guilty for their plans of using him as a future fall guy. I really do think the show had some good stuff & potential, and with a few tweaks couldβve been a great series.
What do u think? Iβd love to knowπ
