The Dream Motel

This is the worst television I've seen, and that includes every training video forced on me by my employers. At least "Reefer Madness" made me laugh once or twice.

Bad directing. Bad acting. Bad pacing. Bad dialogue. Bad writing all around.

In the first 5 minutes of the pilot episode, they mangled several commonly used phrases, which is why their dialogue sounds stilted and forced. It's "well and good," not "good and well."

They use fear to motivate the "guests" instead of guiding them towards empathy and compassion. If you don't get with the program, bad things will happen to you. It should be about good being done rather than how bad it would otherwise be, even though that bad has zero to do with a guest's actual issue.

I won't give details of bad plot lines (I couldn't stomach watching long enough to get to the end of even one episode,) but if you're gullible enough to watch this because the premise had promise you'll see what I mean pretty quickly.

Watch reruns of "Seventh Heaven" or "Touched by an Angel" if you need a religious programming fix. There's a reason those shows were renewed multiple times. This show needs to die a quick, merciful death.
