Vagrant Queen

I wanted to like this show when it was described to me as "Guardians of the Galaxy with a black female lead". Sadly, it's worse than a cheap 80's Saturday morning show and some of those were at least entertaining, which this is not.

I haven't been watching much on SyFy and have yet to see a new show on that channel that is any good. This is the station that canceled the excellent show, The Expanse, that was fortunately picked up by Amazon Prime.

It's like a collection of cringe moments :)

I don't mind the really bad CGI, costumes and so on but the main character is so not interesting. Empty characters and copy/paste elements from other movies or games. Really bad production with nothing original. AND it has that MTV cheap and PC show style which is really really awful.

Well I watched episode one and here's my 2 cents.

The storyline isn't original by any standards , you know the age ol' heir to the throne trying to survive while the current over lords try to capture or kill them gag . The acting was mediocre at best there were times that I looked away cause it was embarrassing to keep watching but being a sci fi nerd I had to get through it . The special effects and CGI feels like they were done by a graphic designer finishing up their degree ( I am sure you will be great mate but you arnt there yet) Overall not a good start but I will give it another episode or two a chance and then stop following.

Fire the Casting Director. The lead actress cannot act and lacks charisma and personality. The cast has zero chemistry. The men are either bumbling or incompetent or evil, but at least likable. The women are strong, smart, brave, but irritating. I don't mind cheesy or low-budget prosthetic makeup and special effects if the script is fun, campy and intriguing - this show is none of those things. Episode 1 will be my last.

"Cheesy", "Campy", "Retro"...? Do you truly understand what those terms mean? They only apply to shows that are able to be described that way and still be enjoyable! Vagrant Queen is NOT an enjoyable show. Horrid acting, especially by the lead actress. Makeup is questionable as to whether they're trying to look like crap or they ARE just crap. The effects are the only standout but with the technology available to almost any production budget nowadays... I'm not surprised.

To make matters worse is the amount of 8, 9 and 10 star reviews. Are you serious? It's rare to see ANYTHING that truly rates a 9 or a 10. To see so many highly rated reviews on this title is proof that they're likely actor and production staff for this show. Don't trust them... don't waste your time.
