Prime Video's TheConsultant a little weird, a little unsettling, but mostly just mediocre. ShaneRyanHere reviews:
—it keeps you watching for longer than you should because you really want to know. A responsible critic watches 2-3 episodes of a show before writing a review, at least, and at the end of the third episode, I can report a faint impulse to keep going, to sink deeper into the strangeness and the mystery of whatever it was I had just spent almost two hours puzzling over.
That’s the basic headline here: Intriguing, but frustrating to the point that the payoff juice doesn’t seem worth the commitment squeeze., per se. Sitting squarely in the “dark workplace comedy” genre, this is the story of CompWare, a game design company whose CEO, a reclusive South Korean genius, is shot and killed in the opening minutes by a child who blames/credits the devil.
Unfortunately, the story here is not exceptional. Impressively claustrophobic, dystopian, and discomfiting? Yes, absolutely. But that’s about all it’s got, and that’s not enough.Shane Ryan is a writer and editor. You can find more of his writing and podcasting at
