That was... a show I watched

This show is fine. It's just... fine. To be honest, I wasn't sure whether to archive and review it at all or whether to let it fade away and never think about it again. But I have to admit that it did get one or two chuckles out of me so I suppose it at least deserves to be remembered for that.
The plot here is basically non-existent and the editing is somewhat disjointed, but the series does have one strong point - its characters. I do find them all genuinely interesting to some degree and I think there's a lot of potential for a really good story starring these people, but this unfortunately just isn't it.
Such a short runtime just isn't a good fit for a story with a large-ish ensemble cast and the script simply isn't good enough to make up for that disadvantage. The characters therefore all end up feeling fairly underdeveloped and unfamiliar.
I really wanted to root for them but since the audience are given so little time to get to know even the leads, it was frankly quite hard to care about any of the characters at all.
Don't get me wrong, the show never does anything particularly offensive or problematic, it's honestly just... boring. Which is almost worse, in a way.
If you're looking for something completely devoid of substance to put on in the background and which will occasionally make you chuckle a little bit, then you might as well pick this show.
You might just as well pick literally anything else though, too.
