Vagrant Queen

I'm really enjoying following the series so far, it's surprising. It plays with tropes in such a way that you get thrown around emotionally, and narratively. I've laughed a lot, but then something will happen, or there'll be a moment which hits you out of the blue, and suddenly your sad, or feeling the love and warmth between these characters. The baddie is a truly bad baddie, and the sudden spikes of extreme violence in this show keep you on your toes and offset the almost Dad joke style humor. But why do Dad's get to have all the funny cheesy jokes. Reclaim the cheese.... yes please!!!

"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.

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.

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.

Based on the comic that no one bought, comes the TV series that no one watched.

Sadly this is not some hidden gem that was overlooked. It is a series that crashed and burned because it wasn't very good.

The overall impression is that the people making this didn't care about the quality of the show If the people being paid to produce, write or direct a series don't care about it then why should the audience.

Acting is underwhelming but in fairness the cast were not well served by either the awful script, the cringey humour or the lazy direction.

Not recommended.
