I remember aTV guide of the time trying to big duck patrol up before the first episode. Oddly, the same critiques made a big thing of praising the guy who commissioned it for being visionary. I read it, and found the discussion of the commisioner very odd, indeed.
This series mistook depiction of cameraderie for comedy. There was no comedy.
You probably won't have seen the Japanese psychedelic horror comedy Hausu, if you are reading this; so, I will, instead compare it to the Weetabix. The characters were like the weerabix gang: Brian, Dunk, Bixie, Crunch, and Brains. The characters names were descriptions of their single distinguishing character trait. I wish you were the kind of people who have probably watched Hausu - it's a better analogy.
Like the weetabix gang, you, the viewer, are supposed to watch it, half wishing that you too were part of their gang. I watched it as long as I could stand, wishing the stuff that happens in Hausu would happen to them.
Please ignore the good reviews. Most people who saw any of this godawful travesty take thd view that it isn't worth reviewing. Unfortunately, that just leaves utterly misleading eave reviews.
