Season 1 Review: The first episode of “One Dollar” wallows in the struggles of several sad sack characters and jumps around a confusing amount as it introduces the unwieldy, large cast, but the show becomes more engrossing in episodes two and three. “One Dollar” hits its stride by episode six, proving it’s a worthy addition to the Peak TV era.

Season 1 Review: The excellence of the acting and the admirable, one might almost say English naturalism of the production balance the sometimes improbable, even implausible action and the occasional sacrifice of sense to drama; it is true that in life, people do not act sensibly, but fictional characters should be held to a higher standard of consistency. Still, the writing gives the actors a lot to play with. ... A solid cop drama. Read full review

Season 1 Review: As end-of-summer video junk food, you could do a lot worse. One Dollar's cast of scruffy characters is an interesting bunch, even when under lethal assault by their own writers. I wound up watching them for four hours, about three more than I planned, and each one was more enjoyable than the last. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The central mystery is involving, but the sprawling tone is painfully stilted. [31 Aug 2018, p.53]

Season 1 Review: It's much less interested in solving the crime than it is in building a sense of place, which may frustrate plot-hungry viewers. However, if you're willing to sit back and think about race, gentrification, addiction, poverty and post-industrialization, One Dollar is rich. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There's not enough good writing here, not enough motivation to follow characters that are either intentionally half-baked or are merely uninteresting. Characters have quirks but the quirks prove there's not much else there. Smart people eventually do exceptionally dumb things. The early trends are not good. Read full review

The concept is interesting if not derivative of other similar plots. There's enough artistic smoke to make it better than the plot deserves so I guess kudos to the director. But or two examples, the performances were fine; Ettinger and Kadyx. Ettinger was just a bad actor and leaned onThe concept is interesting if not derivative of other similar plots. There's enough artistic smoke to make it better than the plot deserves so I guess kudos to the director. But or two examples, the performances were fine; Ettinger and Kadyx. Ettinger was just a bad actor and leaned on whatever physical thing he was trying to pull off. He was all over the place and it was distracting. He was hard to root for. While Kadyx, I was rooting for her as I get it, black woman cop on a predominantly white police department. The problem is that you need to show that there is some systemic racism there for her little schpiel to her trainor. She was not oppressed in any way and her accusations against him when he tried to be inclusive and celebrate a win, were themselves racist and sexist. All that blathering about microaggressions and affirmative action and in the end, the guy actually learned a lesson that she refused to acknowledged. So any success is dashed simply because she says so. It's very typical of the **** narratives of today and it's why people like her fail. Then I read her stupid IMDB bio and it explained it all:

Kaydx is a proud Disabled Black & First-Generation Igbo & Yorùbá (Nigerian), Trans/Genderqueer/Genderfluid/Demi-gender/Agender Spirit, SoloPolyAm Lesbian, Systemically Poor, Survivor, Director, Writer, Producer and Actor from the South.

Nobody wants to work with a person this far up their own ass. You think way too highly of yourself and I predict you will not go far in your career. Who wants to work with a person who's only goal is to disrupt the production and try to catch somebody doing or say something that offends her. None of these things is a reason to dislike her, but rather the culmination of them is what ends careers before they can begin. This person is insufferable and it had an impact on the bottom line of this limited series. It's insane that they were allowed to worm this **** into the story where it had no place.… Expand
