Audience Reviews for Don't Call Me Son

Feb 17, 2019

By trying to bring together two poorly-developed ideas without the cohesion necessary for each to work, this inconsistent drama feels only unfocused and frustratingly unclear about what it wants to say, as it even wastes time with a pointless subplot centered on the character's brother.
