Dear Child (2023)
6/10
Had promise but unravelled at the end

Warning: Spoilers
I thought this started off well and had an intriguing and creepy concept, but it seems either the writers didn't know to end it properly or the number of episodes were curtailed, as the final one was fairly poor.

Yes, there was some kind of resolution, but there was still no clarity about motives, and hardly any back story about everything that happened before Jasmine and Hannah were discovered, leaving me quite frustrated at the end. I guess you could argue that some of it was deliberately left out to create a sense of ambiguity, but I don't buy it.

As a few people have mentioned, there were some incredibly stupid characters, especially within the police. Events occurred that you know just wouldn't happen, whilst characters who were prominent at the beginning seemed to fizzle out. For someone who did everything to follow her father, and had been nurtured over years into a certain way of life, Hannah didn't seem that fussed at the end when he was dead and she was wandering around on the beach.

What about the other perpetrators that were supposed to be involved? How did Jasmine escape in the first place without triggering any mines? Too many odd plot holes for my liking.
