Tin Star Review

I sincerely hope viewers find these recaps useful. I am not a big fan of Tin Star and this episode reminded me why. Sadly, nothing is happening. It is turning into a big old soap opera. Jack is aimlessly running around looking for his family. Angela is running around looking for Anna and Anna is running away from everyone. We’re getting nowhere. There is really no focal point holding the picture together.

It is a flat out mess with no real meaning. I do wish it would get better, but my hope is beginning to dwindle. The episode scores a 6 out of 10. Catch up with previous recaps of Tin Star on Reel Mockery!
