Review of Red Swan

Red Swan (2024– )
5/10
Rain makes it worth the watch... but only barely
14 July 2024
I came into this series with high expectations, but with some trepidation given some of the plot development problems of the Disney / Snowdrop series.

The series appears to only be offered on Hulu in the United States (even though it was advertised for Disney) and just finding the series took an act of commitment, since it didn't show up on any search fields in Disney+. Once found on Hulu (at the bottom of the search results, after multiple hits for anything red or dawn dating back 40 years), I attempted to watch with the cheaper ads version, but the quantity of ads was impossible to bear.

Still committed to watching the series in the best light possible, I forked over $17.99 for a month to watch the series ad-free. Now, micro second black screen interruptions have replaced the ads and reveal the jilting production transitions between scenes.

Skipping the technical flaws, the storyline is just too over the top with the evil in-laws and cheating husband. I have only just finished episode four and will continue watching because Rain makes even this sad production palatable... but just barely. My hope is to be able to upgrade a few stars by the end of the series.
