A summer as he once was, because by the ABC Studios for the own network and a French channel-produced series “Reef Break” is reminiscent. Only female, it is, finally, a flash is clever and daring heroine in the centre, played by Australian Poppy Montgomery, who has been with shows such as “disappeared without a Trace” and “Unforgettable” and the idea to “Reef Break” had. Shimmering heat, magnificent beaches, fleet of sayings that could be bad? Well, bad it is certainly, in the narrative sense, almost defiantly bad: filthy rich Playboys and erzdämliche extortionists/kidnappers/thieves to juggle with diamonds, coke, and money, until you are eaten away by the mildly corrupt, the beach Queen is not reliable. The old Nemesis of the heroine (Rob Collins), often in the Background, the threads are pulling out, has always the Disadvantage.
But we have not longed for secretly, but after that, once again, in the profoundly innocent Sun timidity of a beach-Action-Fun-a series of descending, as in the eighties and nineties? A result of “Reef Break” tastes like an ironic mixed Cocktail from “Baywatch,” “Miami Vice” and Langnese-ice cream-advertising, served with the Coolness of a Jessica Jones, or Jane Rizzoli. The whole ambition of the series seems to be limited to us, a Smile on their investment. Alone the dialogues in the half-world wistfully: “Whoever sent you, I’ll pay you Double.” “The Diamonds!” “How do you know? They are in the briefcase.“
