I had to watch it through till the end. Not because the story was captivating - it isn't, indeed it is so fundamentally moronic it becomes a feature in and of itself - but because almost every aspect of this, eh, series, is so horrendously bad that it becomes an involuntary comedy. I was laughing with tears running down my face at virtually every scene, it is simply that bad. The titular character actress seems to have some acting chops - and she would do well to put it to use in better "productions" than the likes of this - but the entirety of the remaining cast could not act to save their lives. Pretty people, sure, but it goes to show that beauty alone is not sufficient. It is a tall order to make Tommy Wiseau seem like a creative genius, but this "production" came through in spades.
This show isn't worthy of a lengthy review. The plot is sophomoric, the acting just passable, the characters .5 dimensional, the subplots unbearable, the pacing jagged, the whole thing is just a chaotic farse. Best avoided, but if you fall prey of it don't say I didn't warn you. And of course the imbecilic fight choreographing where once one party have the other one on the floor instead of finishing the task of the immediate threat we should instead do anything - literally ANYTHING - else to allow our opponent the time to get the upper hand again. I guess that's what you get when 80% of the shows today are seemingly written by the same group of 17-year-olds.
Poor acting, poor direction, poor pacing, but fundamentally the worst script I have ever seen money put behind. The core premise could have been interesting, but the script kills any hope the story have of becoming engaging., Whomever wrote this farse should revisit their career choices, because with all the practice in the world they have no hope of anything but abysmal failure. The characters are unbelievable and unlikable, the choices and paths are so low-brow even an infant would shake their head in disbelief, and the acting is largely phoned in on a bad connection to voicemail. Best avoided, but can serve as a case study in what not to do.
