Creamerie

After watching fifth episode I am done with this. In spite of interesting premise, first episode itself wasn't great, but I continued watching. 2nd and 3rd episodes were good, then again it went downhill. Most of the 4th episode is at some some sort of fair, 5th episode at dinner table. No edge of seat thrills because this is very low budget stuff. No funny moments. Hardly one or two jokes in an episode. Lone surviving male is hunted by a woman with a tranquilizer gun. That's how exciting it is.

I thought it was edgy with great New Zealand humor. It was hard to watch because the acting was so spot on the material really stood out. It's an uncomfortable subject matter.

Looking forward to season 2.

I really liked the first couple of episodes. It had some great potential but unfortunately Pip just annoyed the bejayzus out of me. Jaime and Alex were interesting and could be developed more.

I started off on board, ready to see what interesting ways the series would go about subverting the whole "virus kills off people with certain chromosomes" trope and how that impacts society, but unfortunately I felt like the show fumbles with executing what could have been an interesting new take. Between the wild tonal shifts between the first half of the series and the last and the almost slap stick way the series chooses to deal with sexual coercion and assault, I lost the thread with this one. There are a smattering of compelling choices, but taken all together, this show was a bit of a mess for me.

The leads are a delight, the writing offers both sharp social commentary and quirkiness, the premise is an interesting one. Glad I gave this one a try. More, please!
