    Disappointing.
    Was expecting so much more when I first heard who was associated with this production.
    You can see what they were trying to achieve but the final product comes across as poor imitation of Twin Peaks

    Briarpatch wasn’t the subtlest of shows (see the zoo metaphor), but it was sleek and propulsive enough to make me want to find out more.

    There's nobody to love or even like much in Briarpatch. Even Allegra is flat and withdrawn; her insistence on staying to pursue the case is driven by intellect rather than emotion.

    The world that Andy Greenwald has set up in Briarpatch is one that’s worth visiting, despite the heavy hand on quirk.
