The first ep of The Millionaire detective is phenomenal. The OP is fantastic. The ED is fantastic. The music is fantastic. On top of all that, there’s a guy wearing a full suit. How could I not get excited. This is exactly the type of vibe I dig. Watching it really reminded me of Lucifer. And why I somehow love shows with an asshole (sort of) hitting up a sleek and stylish suit. But as the show went on. It lost that touch I was looking for. It had the spark to be a much better show in my opinion. I would’ve loved if it had taken a more character oriented approach. By exploring the psychies of its two main protagonists by exploring how they’d act when placed in different circumstances. But for most of the show. The two of them aren’t even with each other. On top of this, the Millionaire is seriously overpowered. Like, literally. How can you enjoy a show if you know that no matter what happens, they’d just use money to solve it in the end. That just made the whole plot boring for me. It felt like the characters were just pulling loose ends that just fall off and loose all its meaning with the slightest tug. I honestly feel disappointed, now having finished it. It had so much potential. Which it failed to exploit by following a very very obvious and uninteresting plot.
