🎥 Watched Buried in Barstow.

This is a made-for-TV movie/show - not quite sure how to classify it - about a woman who runs a café. She’s very protective of her family and friends. And happens to have been a hitwoman in the past.

It’s pretty dramatic and compelling. But I’m afraid the positive experience was rather ruined by the ending. Not that it was a bad storyline or anything, quite the opposite with some engaging plot twists. But it ends in a total cliff-hanger, literally saying something like “Look out for part 2”.

Part 2 was supposed to start filming in 2022 - but as far as we know never did. So, despite a couple of years elapsing, there is no sign that anyone is ever going to make any of the planned 5-7 sequels.

I sincerely think that that shows could come with an extra type of content warning when they are clearly the first part of something that it’s been long enough that there’s no sign of a second part - “warning: you can watch this but you’re going to be annoyed that there’s no proper ending”.
