PIKE (2024) Dances With Films New York


Entertainment manager decides that he’s had enough of no talents in Hollywood and decides to kill them.

Pilot film for a new series is going to be noted as the final work of George Lazenby, the second man to play James Bond on the big screen. As a show itself I’m not certain what I think. It’s not that the show is bad, its more I’m not certain where it is going to go after this. There is a reason I generally refuse to review pilots or TV series based on a single episode and that is that it is very hard to know if a series will work  after 25 minutes. PIKE  has the cast down and the writing is sharp. What I don’t know is if this will work going long form.  It largely works as a short film but it’s left open to keep going.

Is it worth seeing? Yes, but you’ll want to see more. Will it work as a series? I don’t know.
