Bridge and Tunnel

The first episode was decent, not too bad for a start. The biggest problem was that the F word was used in nearly every other sentence. Not really understanding why. Oh yeah, authenticity. So you can't write an authentic show without using it in constantly? It's very jarring. Seems like lazy writing to me.

I'm very surprised at this product considering Ed Burns is in it, producing it, directing it... I can tell the actors are probably great... But the writing is so bad. Incredibly cheesy and nonsensical a lot of the time. Unless they meant for this to be a teeny bopper show, it needs more depth and certainly better writing. I really wanted to like this show because it's my era, and I'm loving the clothes and the music, but that's about it.

Show started out slow in Episode 1, but like a college graduate living at home, there's always room for growth. Good to see Ed Burns behind and in-front of the camera again. Great music, as well. Pure nostalgia.

A drama series about 6 young adults set in the 80s. Its about their relationships, uni and work.

Based on the first 2 episodes its ok, nothing to write home about. Its just attractive people hooking up, and nothing much deeper than that yet. The acting is fine & production and wardrobe (for the time period) are well done.

I will say that Sam Vartholomeos is the highlight of the 6 leads. He has a little more to work with than the rest of the cast, and he also has a great screen presence.

Seriously NOTHING happens.

Two seasons and NOTHING happens.

There's no driving factor, no compelling story, no overall plot. NO POINT. It's just a "day in the life" of rather ordinary people each and every episode. Characters are shallow and uninteresting.. often VERY cliché.

It is NOT a comedy... I've never even grinned at anything presented in this series.... much less chuckled or laughed.

It's as if they made a series about you in high school - even though these characters are supposed to be college-age, it SURE seems like high school ... except it's far, far, far, less interesting because you aren't involved.

A series about snails migrating to the other side of the garden would be more compelling.

Here's a tip Mr Burns... have a PLOT... a POINT... a PURPOSE...

How this got picked up, or even greenlit in the first place, is a mystery to me. I can only assume it was because of Mr. Burns' name being attached. If it were from some unknown writer.. it would have NEVER seen the light of day.
