    A charismatic Justin Theroux, some interesting ideas and great visuals are let down by tired drug-cartel malarkey and strange screenwriting choices. But perhaps the most baffling decision is to take on an adaptation and depart so wilfully from the source material. Stick with Peter Weir’s 1986 version.

    If you know where this story is eventually going to end up, geographically as well as emotionally, it can seem as if the writers are unnecessarily running out the clock in order to get the next binge-tailored ending to land at the 55-minute mark. But there’s enough going at the level of performance and characterization that you rarely feel as if a given scene is devoid of purpose.

    A fine lead performance from Justin Theroux, in addition to a story that’s been rejiggered just enough to make it more modern than its source material gives this new version of The Mosquito Coast a real chance to be the next talked-about series.
