Ok this clearly was never meant to make it to air. The script is just awful, plain right awful. I've seen "adult videos" with better scripts, production, plot and acting than this.
Characters spew their dialogue and the script is so clipped it's like the actors just wait for the other character to finishing talking before saying their line. It's like a notch above a school play but with a worse script.
The script makes zero effort to endear any of the characters too you. The main bad guy has more endearing qualities than any of the protagonists - all of whom are just portrayed as narcissistic petty criminals! Who was this made for?!? Police/Rich people = bad (is all you need to know)!
The plot is the most terrible part of the whole lot. It all feels like the someone scribbled the whole thing down in a space of half an hour while consuming mind-altering substances. Seriously how did this make it to air let alone past pre-production vetting?!
It's utter cringe garbage to the point watching it is actually funny to laugh at (not with). I loved the bit with the computer hacker guy who had to hack into a drone for "reasons" in the most utterly absurd way possible. Who seriously goes on a night heist, all dressed in black but with their "face" all lit up in LEDs?! Oh and then, in the middle of the heist, decide it's time to test the newly hacked drone?
Was funny to watch but don't think I can take anymore due to concerns over it effecting my mental wellbeing. It will damage your IQ if you attempt to think about any parts of the plot, writing this review has caused me some damage.

This is really really really bad..... Even if you get passed the bad acting, bad script, bad camera work, and bad production.... You are ultimately left with a terrible iteration of Robin Hood that ignores the original story....
These people are criminals straight up stealing from businesses.... For themselves.... Heres a little lesson for you kids.. They said "Robin Hood steals from the rich and gives to the poor" but thats not quite right. Robin stole from the govt, he stole back taxes and he spread it among the peasants. He didn't go raid the local vendor stalls.
Maybe if they labeled this as parody it could get a 2/10 at best.

The plot is contrived and beyond cartoonish. The aesthetics are helplessly childish. The dialogue is flat. The acting is horrible. The props prove that some people shouldn't be allowed a glue gun. The director would drag a school play down. The general outline for the plot could've worked, though. Corrupt city, evil corporation, threatened neighborhood, with a few references to the Robin Hood myth. The problem isn't the basic idea, it's the fact that it's implemented with complete incompetence and maximum cringe.
These writers don't understand the first thing about the original Robin Hood story. In that, the king was overtaxing the people to the point of starvation, so although with dubious methods, Robin had a justifiable reason to steal that money back, because it is rightfully the people's. Here the main characters are just thuggish criminals because they just want the rich white guy's stuff.
I bet you the creator of this POS read a cliff notes version and thinks that just because he robs the king he's just like them. Even when they themselves are sleeping in gated mansions with guards posted.

So I did as suggested, and used a VPN as it's not accessible in my country. I was curious as to how bad it could be possibly be. Well, I should have left those expectations at the door, because this exceeded them by far. It's sooo much worse than I could have ever imagined. I must admit that I actually enjoyed it, but for all the wrong reasons. It's not so bad that it's good, it's so bad that all you can really do is chuckle in a sort of defeated way that refuses to acknowledge that this show could actually become a reality. Do yourself a favour, watch the first episode if you feel you're in need of a lobotomy for whatever reason. More than one will leave you with permanent brain damage. This didn't deserve a critical review, because i'm fairly certain no critical thought was present in its creation.
I can't make my mind up if it's the low budget or the story line that is the worst thing about this, but it was just unbearable. I have, and do, watch a fair few low budget B movies and I generally persist, but it's a rare thing that I give up, but I could not get through the first episode. It was just awful.
Sadly, it's one in a long line of activist style programming that puts activism before good storylines.
The acting is bad, sorry but it is. The opening scene where they fight off two police offices was just pathetic, unbelievable and the ease at which they got away was just yaaaawwwwnnnn!
I want my 30 minutes back! :(
