    Production values in many areas need lots of polish

    On my first draft of the review I felt like I was ripping the whole episode to shreds on soundtrack, camera-work, overacting and poor acting and even continuity and makeup issues. I know professionals put huge amounts of effort to get a show on air and viewer support and reviews are their lifeblood.

    I often prefer television dramas and I hope that most of these issues smooth out so we can accept the world they are attempting to bring the viewer into. A premier episode should try to be a best foot forward and this feels more like an unaired pilot episode for those that have seen them and know what I'm referring to - These Pilots are often unpolished and are often trying different aspects of production to see what does and does not work. Up to this point I believed most went through trial viewings with audience reaction reviews which I have participated in a fair number of times over the years. The goal being to get the responses needed to take the show from a concept to a more polished work. To make the best possible product or in many cases, whether to go forward with production at all. I have previewed many that seemed stronger than this yet never were produced.

    Just awful

    The writing is bad. The sets are a joke and the things they have the actors doing are ridiculous. Is someone actually directing this ? Is there even a screenplay to work from. I am amazed there are 20 episodes, who approved this and more importantly who paid for it ? The situations are ludicrous.

    Now I need another three hundred.

    You've got to be kidding me

    Why does the industry spend money on crap like this? I've seen better films created by college students with NO budget. I don't know how I made it through the first ep. Started the 2nd ep and can't get any farther. Take it back to the drawing board guys and hire a much better cast and better writers. Oh, and change the name. The backwards hacker names went out in the 80's. The acting was pathetic. Dolph Lundgren is almost as bad as hiring a pro wrestler as an actor. At least the wrestler has SOME acting experience. It is entertainment, somewhat. How is it that shows like this can make it past the first airing of the first ep? I'm amazed at how a good show can get canceled and crap like this can continue.

    Chill

    Chill out everyone. It's a television show, not the opening negotiations for disarming nuclear armed North Korea. Good looking guys (who cares), hot women in bikinis (I care), in beautiful surroundings. Dolph Lundgren is a known going in. He brings what he always brings. J.R. Martinez grows as an actor with every outing. Fresh new faces fill out the show and present the creators with chances for growth and creativity. I anticipate that season two will benefit from the growth in season one and that new story lines will break this show open. Face it, in a world where Brooklyn Nine-Nine can win a Golden Globe as Best Sitcom, SAF3 is a sure bet to be around for a long time.

    Baywatch Fail

    This Baywatch spin off falls short in almost every aspect of good TV. The acting is painful at times. I would not recommend this show. David Hasselhoff would even cringe. Cape Town looks beautiful. I wish i had more positive things to say about the show but i cant think of any off hand. Filling up five lines for a review has never been so hard. Thanks for reading
