finished TRAIN ! My overall thoughts are pretty much the same as to my last post, with those extra points:
-> I don’t know why, but the second half of this show is full of unintentional comedic timing. And I always feel kinda bad for laughing because it was clearly meant to be dramatic
-> Rarely am I a huge fan of serial killers and their dumb reasons; this was not one of those times. But There was a clever accomplice twist and I through it was well done and interesting.
-> This show is really bitter sweet. I respect that.
-> It did overstayed it’s welcome quite a bit, though. This, with the overuse of flashbacks AND the fact that the show didn’t properly start till like, the third episode, Makes me wonder how the pacing would work if it had 10 episodes, instead of 12.
-> The leads are, unfortunately and unsurprisingly, stricken with the thriller genre plague of going-alone-into-clearly-dangerous-situations-dissease. I can’t even blame them for it. I stg, the ONE TIME someone called for backup, I legit cheered.
-> I wish we had a show looking at the idea of similar – but – a bit-off dimensions + mystery that wasn’t a police procedural ; I really like the first genre, but rather dislike the other.
Good fun overall. Also, since I watch shows on my phone I got to watch this while riding an actual train, which was a nice experience.

The twist was really interesting and well done.
