Some modest nudity from Lana Parrilla in episode 2 of The Rainmaker
That’s the plot of “The Firm”, not “The Rainmaker”.
IMDB says, “A cross between The Firm and The Rainmaker, plot wise, many details are changed such as Donny Ray dying of negligence (vs leukemia) and a change of race, too.”
Hot arse
Off-topic: At least as important as a Brooks Nader wardrobe malfunction, I reckon, is a nudity debut by Lauren Lyle. I’m not counting Outlander bc I’m suspicious of breastfeeding scenes. The movie magic just seems to me too likely to be aided by a prosthetic.
I buried the lead: Star of Karen Pirie, in what we could call her breakthru role, has a nude sex scene in The Ridge at the end of episode 3. She bares a breast. We see most of her right breast, full nipple & areola. Briefly.
The show is underrated at iMdb by the recent affliction there. My theory (hypothesis) is, one character calls the main character woke. The main character is flawed, one could even say deranged. Some watchers, confident of their cohort’s judgement of the matter, take the opportunity to jump on the presumed bandwagon. That this is a fair representation of woke behavior. It’s nothing of the sort. But if we had some way of filtering out the political bias, it’d get a lot less of the negative takes dragging its rating down.
It’s not horror, IMO. That tag is possibly marketing hype, but there is certainly no supernatural element whatsoever. It’s a murder mystery & a thriller. The acting is good, IMO, & the show is not bad. There are many defects in the story as scripted, but in my estimation, it’s still basically sound. And it’s engaging. It did seem worth a look. It’s only 6 episodes, so see it thru before judging.
Clarification: I meant Karen Pirie was a modest hit, Lauren Lyle was in the title role, & unlike in any of her prior work, she was on-camera most of the time. She showed us some star power. Which was far less evident hitherto. The Ridge reiterates that she knows what she’s doing. In the hypothetical absent Karen Pirie, I don’t think The Ridge could be her breakthru, she might not be cast in it, & maybe even, it wouldn’t be made.
