Power Rangers for older teens

Wow, this was horrible!

I'd heard of the programme before and, being a fan of fighting films, TV shows and comics, I tracked down the first series that started it all... and it was awful!
The first two episodes are, frankly, an absolute mess. Overly ambitious in the worst possible way - the story is all over the place and makes little sense - the fight scenes, which should be the real star of the show, aren't very good, the budget is clearly low and the entire cast is chosen solely based on looks (you won't find any talent here!)... but, given how many spin-offs this has had, I figured I was missing something or that it simply improved exponentially, so I continued.

After the 4th episode, I really couldn't suffer any more of this trash.
It's supposed to be a hip programme about men fighting but it's more like the live-action version of an anime aimed at 8 year olds, with leads who look more like Korean femi-boy pop star wannabes than hard men!

Dropped.
