If you've ever wanted to experience the emotional thrill of watching paint dry while someone reads the instruction manual for a toaster, this series might be your dream come true.
I really enjoyed the first season, but the 2nd season is diabolical.
From the first episode, it's clear this series is a textbook case of style over substance - though, to be fair, even the style feels half-baked. What could have been a compelling or at least mildly entertaining show ends up being a slow, meandering mess. The plot - has been lost. Unfortunately, the acting is one of the show's weakest links. Most of the cast seem ill-equippped for their roles, delivering flat, uninspired performances that range from downright awkward to irritating. It is obvious that some was cast more as a checkbox tick, rather than for acting skills and character. It's as if the casting call was held in a shopping mall food court, and they just picked whoever made eye contact. Most of the performances are from "high school drama club understudy". A few of the better actors try to salvage things, but it's like watching a single firefighter trying to put out a dumpster fire with a squirt gun.
By episode four, I was ready to die and decided to throw the towel in. I think I've had my fair share of suffering and couldn't take any more torture.
In the end, it's a frustrating watch, more annoying than entertaining, and almost completely devoid of energy or talent that might justify a second season.
Unless you're a glutton for punishment, you're better off skipping this one.
In short, if you're looking for background noise whilst going about your day, this could be the series for you. Otherwise, save your brain cells, they'll thank you for it.
