It's... instructive as to how far you can skimp on fulfilling a premise.
The deliberate lack of a traditional antagonist is courageous.
However, there's a reason for that tradition.
If it were made to the standard of Breaking Bad, the interactions and conflict between the various protagonists would be compelling.
But they punked out on the budget, the writing and the cinematography. They put all the talent in front of the camera, but they needed more writers at the table, more pedants in the editing booth, and more shitlords calling for another take.
C+, Krysten Ritter's nostrils deserve better. |
You're absolutely right. No one on-screen did anything wrong, as such, there just wasn't enough of anything. Not enough plot, not enough characterisation, not enough provocation of thought... it was all a bit flaccid.

Wolf Creek.
First episode was pretty good. Bit anti-climax since. Nice touch to have the star of the films playing the baddie too. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

Friday Night Dinner ... post-Inbetweeners* vehicle for the goofy Jewish narrator.
It's pleasant enough: two brothers go home on Friday nights for dysfunctional Jewish dinner with parents, with occasional grandmothers for plot extension/development. Tedious Neighbour pops in every day. Alright for typical humour of that genre if you're bored and between binges of more interesting things.
*(I don't know which Inbetweener is which: I just know them as the gobby one, the anxious Jewish one, the lanky one, one's called Simon but I have no idea who ). ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Once Upon a Time 3/10
This has 7 series and is still running. Created by the guys that made Lost. You can tellit was made by them, there are so many different story lines that you just get Lost.
I watched it to series 4 and just couldn't subject myself to anymore. It started off ok'ish. It's just badly made. Very shitty script writing, the dialogue is just clunky and unbelievable, and acting is poor.
The only saving grace is Little Red Riding Hood ....

Sort of on topic has anyone been watching the 20th anniversary episodes of who wants to be a millionaire (hosted by Clarkson)? It's brilliant, Clarkson's a million times more entertaining than that tw@ Tarrant, and people really are thick as $hit these days.
Tonight an Oxford student went home with only a grand (he didn't know a question about Thunderbirds ), as did a teacher who didn't know her periodic table. The best one from a few nights ago was when Clarkson talked a copper out of the correct answer |

Eh.
Hmm.
Mmm.
The first 2 episodes are intense genius.
After that, you can stick with it, I guess.
Just be aware that it's all there up front. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I thought the first episode was naff enough not to bother with the rest, and I normally give anything a chance. |
