This is a post that may be updated in the future with more criticisms if there is enough compulsion to watch the show further.  The first five to fifteen minutes are critical for any show on the big or silver screen.  There is basically only one flow that guaranties it will be successful.

Apparently NetFlix has hired mostly garbage bin writers who fail at understanding how to weave a good story, for the super'majority of their recent releases.  Why they are intentionally coercing their customers to go to another platform is beyond the understanding of mine.

There is a basic skeleton to all successful myths and modern stories.  The feet of that skeleton begin with what is called "The Refusal of the Call".  It is the foundation on which the rest of the skeleton depends.  It is in this first act that the writer must 'show' why the audience should care about the protagonist.

The initial protagonist, Karl D'Branin in the first five to fifteen minutes does the exact opposite of refuse the call.  He jumps headlong into it.  What is even worse, is the writers seemingly deliberately try to compel the audience to dislike the protagonist, because his 'jumping towards the call' ties also into ditching his loving and caring wife and child.

Therefore, Karl begins the story with a huge negative.  Yet there fails to be any reason the audience should care about him.  The writers 'tell' the audience why they should care, but it really just comes across as him whining, about how his family is holding him back from career advancement... people generally don't watch whiners.

Naturally, the character is a white affluent male.  Of course, it could just be literary license, but given recent releases from Hollywood it can easily be seen as pandering to S.J.W.s {Social Justice Warriors} who fail to buy tickets or pay for subscriptions.  That is their thing, blowhards who only want to force their personal ethics and morals onto others.

Hopefully this perception is changed, even if it fails to interest future versions of myself to watch it.  For those whom humble me with further interest in my critic of this show;  If further time is invested in watching this series, below the time disparity will be noted.

Generally suspension of disbelief allow me to enjoy shows far more than most known to me.  So when a show bothers me, it seems others might benefit from learning why, if they wish to know.

For sharing the Force, grateful am I.  May the Goddess be allowed to alighten a path towards love, joy, and happiness along the self'determined life'cycle chosen by the higher'self of yours, pray do I.

The Order {2019} show falls far short of its massive potential.  The primary problem is that in the first three episodes the directors, producers, writers, and actors all collectively fail to even hint at the answer to four of the five cardinal questions of why, where, what, and who.  Writing a good story is understandably more difficult than may be taken for granted;  However, the existing relationships seem very stereotypical to me.  If you fear spoilers, you may want to avoid this review.

[Why] The most basic ‘why’ is why is the protagonist Mr. Jack Morton, the underdog, special enough for the Ms. Vera Stone to choose an action, that significantly risks her own neck…?…  Why does the Police Homicide Detective Hayashi immediately zero in on Mr. Morton as the killer…?…  Why does Mr. Edward Covington fail to recognize a kid that should look very close to himself and his long lost beau…?…  ‘Cause the first episode in and it is obvious that Mr. Peter Morton is the bad guy, with his obsessive compulsive disorder and complete lack of regard for the situation his grandson.

At this point, Mr. Jack Morton should be questioning the verity of everything he was told about Mr. Covington, since he learned they mess with people’s memory/reality.  So why is Mr. Covington assumed to be the killer of Mr. Morton's mother…?… The mere existence of a murder board fails to equal proof, let alone overwhelming proof.

Despite what some may claim, the answer to this question simply must be hinted at within the first three episodes, think do I.  That is only if the writer, et cetera, want the audience to continue watching their show.

[Where] Where are they that a college bar serves alcohol to under'age freshman…?… Where are Mr. Morton’s friends from High School…?…  Where is his frat house, if he is pledged to a co’ed fraternity that fails to exist…?…  Where are the blatant consequences that should be rebounded back to Mr. Morton stealing thousands of dollars…?…  He may have fooled the casher to let him walk out the door, but then that casher should be fired and thrown behind bars for "stealing".

[How] How can an Honor Roll student even 'want' to do nothing but drink and hang out with friends thirteen hours a day…?…  The first class is Ethics, and they want me to believe that a 4.0 student is willing to cheat with majik…?… No.

Regardless of the common sense of avoiding cheating with majik, at miskatonik university.  In addition, he romantically likes his “tutor”, but is willing to endanger Ms. Alyssa Drake's own academic record, as his tutor, with his use of unsanctioned majik…?…  Again, no thank you…

[What] What does Ms. Drake have against dating a Freshman…?…  a remark that seems to come out of left field, and she basically ignores her own rule because…?… is she perpetually horny…?…  What actual evidence is there that Covington is guilty of what Mr. Peter Morton claims?

Perhaps Mr. Morton's O.C.D. behavior was what killed his daughter.  Then Covington comes up with his plan to take a blender to everyone's recollection of history.  Instead of Mr. Morton blaming himself, that leaves just enough memories for him to blame Mr. Covington
