Intruder Season 1 (2021) Review

This show has been airing the last few nights on Channel 5 and I have now watched Intruder and here is my review for it. The premise of the show sees a couples lives change when two teenagers break into their house. 

Main Character

Sally Lindsay plays the lead character and is basically the one leading the investigation and this will be a similar theme towards this review that she is bad. The character is very one note and the performance doesn't give you any reason to care about her and the situation that she is in. There is nothing to care about and Lindsay is just such a a weak character. 

Supporting Characters

Elaine Cassidy and Tom Meeten play the couple and they are so bad that it actually transitions into hilarious. They are so over the top and cheesy that it is absurd and you will not care about either of these annoying people and the situation they are put in. Then there a character called Angela who is one of the stupidest and ridiculous characters I have ever seen on film or TV and I mean ever. The rest of the cast are also really bad either they are so over the top or so dull and it really meshes poorly. 

Story 

The story of this show is absurd. Nothing makes sense and the characters act so strangely and make decisions that I don't think any human being on Earth would do. As the show progresses it attempts to expand the story and none of it works as you sit there baffled and why the hell you decided to watch is 4 hour monstrosity with one of the worst endings any show could ever have. 

Script 

The script is laughably bad. It wasn't like a fellow Channel 5 disaster The Descendants which was so crazy it was a stupid fun mess, this is just really bad. The dialogue is awful and cringe, there is no humour, the drama is really forced and none of the characters act like real people. 

Style 

The worst thing about this show is that despite the absurdity the show is really boring. The episodes are dull and don't add anything original or captivating in any way. I feel like if this show if going to be over the top and absurd then it should have embraced that but it really doesn't and it fails at everything here. 

Overall

I have always said that it is really hard to find a truly terrible 1/10 show but it finally happened. Intruder is probably the worst show I have ever seen and should be avoided at all costs and when they release this show on DVD and Blu-Ray all the copies should be burned to ensure its death. 

Rating - 1/10
