Ikr? So foolish, high schoolers can write a better plot than this one. All I gathered from watching this show (I took the time to finish it, unfortunately) is how much Charlie Cox deserves better. People are going to zero in on him for this show being bad but he was literally given nothing to work with and saddled to play one of the most clueless protagonists on TV yet. What a waste of a great actor.

They did Charlie so dirty. Besides the completely plot hole-ridden story, his character was written like a side character instead of the main one. He was basically given nothing to do. Why even cast him if that's the case? Mind-boggling. Watching Daredevil you can see him doing great action, doing great drama, etc...then this show gives him no opportunity to do either.
And the writer is apparently "Oscar-nominated" or whatever...where did his Oscar-nominated talent go when writing this show then 🤣

I thought Kin was good. Even that show at least also has Ciaran Hinds in a better role than this one lol. But yeah, Charlie's potential is being wasted. He would eat in an HBO show (aka shows with actual good writing that gives actors a lot more to chew)

Maybe they didn't notice it either...I certainly didn't notice an American accent but I'm gonna try and look out for it now as I finish the show. Maybe that's just how his British accent is now? (He has been living in the US for quite a few years now, and maybe his real accent is getting Americanized or something)

Well that kind of silly writing and dialogue isn't easy to make convincing so I don't blame the actors at all

Thought it was an ok watch but I hate how passive they made Charlie's character. They wasted him the most out of all the actors, which is a shame when you know he EATS with good material like in Daredevil.

To be fair I haven't seen anyone blame his performance (since he did the best with what he got) but are basically just wondering why he chose to do the show in the first place, but at the end of the day he's acting for a living and doesn't have the luxury to be picky.
