Simply B-Grade television


It takes real effort to make an idea as potentially cool as this is and just make it so bland and cringe-worthy. It's just a joke.

I've watched it all. It's just a disappointment. It could have been so much better. Season 1 started great and it just got worse and worse. Season 2 is the same deal.

Sorry to hear this, I'm still at season 1 and loving it. I'd heard that season 2 was not as good. Despite your comments I will probably stick with it for season 2.

reply

Yeah definitely stick with it. You might find it better than i did. I will still watch season 3. I have to find a way to look past it's short-commings.

Yep, that fooled me into watching the second season as well. Especially if you liked the first season, you'll wonder what they are doing in the first episodes of season 2, and believe me, you instinct will be right: they are not doing anything other than ruining it. There is no payoff, no meaning. It really is just the crap you see on the screen.

Update on that - Watched 2 episodes of season 2 and dear gods that was enough! How do you go from great to awful so quickly?

reply

Strange, isn't it? Especially since the setup itself would allow compelling stories. Hints of the potential are visible all over the season, but the loveless way they are combined and the steady urge to cash out too early on the build-ups, leaving stories as stumps and character as tropes destroys the mere attempts.
