The Copenhagen Test

"The Copenhagen Test" is a espionage thriller that's somewhat lacking. Whilst the cast is mostly pretty capable and the action scenes, are competently done, where this series falls down, is the story, rather noticeably, just doesn't hold together all that well. The notion of a US spy with a hacked brain, where everything he sees and does, is monitored by an unknown, presumably hostile group, isn't a great foundation to build upon. The result is a lot of contrived, often awkward, scenes, that visibly don't function as the script probably hoped they would. A dash of the by now expected but nonetheless tiresome, woke nonsense and US exceptionalism, doesn't help either. In summary, slow, with a core premise, that was never going to be easy to work with from a storytelling perspective, "The Copehagen Test", is a rather bland watch.

Simu Liu cannot act his way out of a paper bag. He should never been put into the position of a lead role. He is a "charisma vacuum" and Peacock needs to fire the cast dept for this entire show. I cannot believe how atrocious the acting is. I bet everyone on the set of the show were embarrassed. The producers, the directors, the actors all obviously know they are putting out SLOP. The plot and the story are pretty basic and simple-minded too. Who is actually hiring these writers? And who is running Peacock right now? It seems like all they put out is garbage, over and over. Maybe someday people will get hired for their **ability**, not the checkboxes these network demands. All I know is that sooner or later the money will stop spewing out of their diversity firehoses and we'll get back to decent TV. 🤞🏻
