Life's a Glitch with Julien Bam

First of all: The poduction (sets, camera, director etc.) are very good in my opinion. Really nice to watch and with a lot of quality (as you already have known from the teams YouTube activities).

But the story and the acting, which is totally fine for Youtube short films, ist not enough for a real netflix series. And I have to rate this as a series.

So overall: Production good; acting and story not really good --> Definition of a 'meh' series.

First of all, it doesn't make sense to call this a series when there are only 4 episodes. If anything, this should have at least been a movie.

Second, you're not missing anything with this series.

It's a major misconception that if you are a successful internet star, you would have the experience and talent to direct a television series and act at a level that it would be released by one of the biggest streaming services.

Third, the entire show is predictable, not funny, largely cringe, and poorly written. Also, it feels like several YouTube videos were randomly strung together, so the target audience is the same people who watch the clips of influencer Julien Bam, who just wanted to give space to all his ideas with this poor attempt to establish himself in the big, wide world of television. But that doesn't work at all when every, really every cliché is fulfilled.

Horrible writing and even worse acting. The characters are all very linear and there is no real character development until the very end, where you get the obvious twist you get in every outer body experience movie. The jokes are very on the nose. The trailer seemed interesting. The story is pretty much based on the music video Freaky Friday with Chris Brown and Lil Dicky. The famous guy wakes up in the mit so famous guys body. It's sad that the 3 minutes music video told more and was more entertaining than a 4 episodes series.

This series has no depth at all. The characters are written very flat, their acting makes them even flatter. Is comedy really so hard for Germans? The jokes mostly miss. Most attempts at being funny just ended up being cringe worthy.

To be honest: I just get it to the end of the first episode. The filming is well done but there is a lack of authenticity, the dialogs are not very interesting and the characters are a little bit too exaggerated. The storyline is although not really interesting.

Propably a must see for fans, but right now not for a guy who didn't know Julian.

But it's just a beginning. There is much space for becoming better and I think there is potential. Julian seems to be a german influencer with a lot of followers in real life. And in germany there is are no big high quality film industrie where you can profit from. I believe he and his team will become better, because they know the path with all the struggles. Projects like this are perfect to become better and better.
