A messy, confusing, and amateur production that can't find its footing
NO-SPOILER REVIEW
This series starts out with a unique premise but quickly falls apart into a complete mess. To the actors' credit, it was the overall script, storytelling, production quality, and pacing that undermined any potential this series may have had.
Pros
- The series has a unique premise with a few compelling moments hidden throughout
- The cast is decent
Cons
- Any semblance of a plot completely falls apart, leaving you confused and uncertain for the rest of the series as to who the main characters are, what kind of story this is, why any of the side characters even exist, and why you should care about any of it.
- Extremely disappointing and amateur production quality. Scenes that don't match up, so many multi-takes, overused tropes, and more. The various storylines seem to almost have nothing to do with each other, which each group basically being in their own world.
- The pacing was excruciatingly slow with some scenes being milked so much that you could fall asleep. The entire 13 episode series could have been condensed into 6 episodes.
Overall
- This series is worth skipping. If you're intent on watching this, feel free to skip past about 60% of it, which is comprised of overly drawn-out scenes that are there to take up time.
