We Are the Wave

Having loved the Third Wave novel, I was really excited for this show. Unfortunately, it fell flat. I couldn't tell if the voices were dubbed or if the audio didn't consistently match the video, which was distracting as I was trying to figure this out. I couldn't connect with the characters. They were too extreme stereotypes to feel real.

Typical teen show with a bad boy and a rich girl that we're supposed to feel sorry for, even though she has a loving family, rides a moped to school, and takes tennis lessons.

The only difference is that this bad boy thinks he's Tyler Durden and wants to incite some chaos to disrupt capitalism.

This show is completely out of touch reality.

Only two episodes in. I was engaged right away. Well-written and well-acted BUT The score..... dumbs down and cheapens all of the above. Thought at first it might be a fluke bad choice, that I could overlook.. but the musical strikes continue to amass and it's bugging me soooooo much.

I VERY much enjoy everything which comes between the auditory insults

I really if there's any logics behind this series.. everyone can change from one character to another just if the directors want it to be, and they don't have their principle, at all. And the whole storyline had so many bugs. I mean, don't the filmmakers of this series somehow live in the real world? Even a bit?

Yep, the first 2 episodes are quitre mediocre, especially if you're not into typical teen dramas, as they mostly serve building up characters, but the series quickly picks up pace. It is in episode 3 when the show truly finds its way, and episodes 4-6 are just really, really good in showing the naivity of teen rebellion.

Keep in mind, however, that this show is NOT similar to the movie from 2008 or the book. It is just loosely based, and tells much more about naive idealism than about left-wing extremism. In fact, I'd say the show is more critical of the far-right than left wing.

Give this series another chance, because it truly does pick up and deserves a season 2.
