The Bannocking

This series originally intrigued me as it was quite high on the downloaded series chart.

But for the life of me I can't see why. There are six ten minute episodes, and nothing really happens. There is very little in the way of story development throughout, and no explanation or background to the events.

Apart from the main female lead, the characters are either unmemorable or just plain annoying and the acting is amateur.

It comes off as a badly made pilot episode of a Walking Dead / Last of Us rip off series that no-one would ever watch, and would never get commissioned. Don't waste your time.

There are some shows that leave you unsure about whether they are good or bad, right up until the last few minutes, and it's the ending that determines whether they are great or awful.

This was not one of them; its first few minutes were more than enough to know it was going to be awful.

The characters are irresponsible, unreliable, and never follow through with anything they start.

There was no one I could identify with, understand, or even care about.

They continually start to do things, with no apparent motivation, and don't seem to be bothered by each other's senseless behaviour.

The plot seems to consist of building on this situation, getting more and more pointless as the show progresses.

The ending is a welcome relief, not because it explains what has happened, or because it makes any kind of sense, but simply because it means it's over.
