It's a shame about the lost potential
I was expecting a series about a Joe Brody (Cranston) style character, intelligent and fanatical, who will be pitted against frightened paranoid officials who are waiting for a global catastrophe... but instead, I got DuckTales 2017 (only with a terrible script and hysterical characters).
Japan, Kazakhstan, Philippines, mixed generations, and no difference is felt (except for the entourage, designers are pretty good). The actors are not bad either, they play what they were prescribed, but alas, from the second episode you begin to skip their whining and posturing. In this magical world, no one even used a gun, like it's just a teenage melodrama, not an global catastrophe
The series feels like that the plot is secondary, the story is not interesting to anyone from the scriptwriters, but all comes down to plastic teenagers anarchists who "understand", but have apparently never been further than California.
It's unbearably boring to get into. You have 10 hour long episodes but the plot is only driven by prodigies with laptop magic hunches, deus ex machina. Hysterics, accusations, theatrical some populist slogans out of place.... Not a single likeable character, meh. Especially since they have scripted armor thicker than a Hollywood children's story.
