The thing about such a show is, you have to be prepared that low budget doesn't offer as much as you are used to, and we are pretty spoiled with triple A shows via streaming.
Taken that into consideration...
Positives: Good looking actors. Some good prop use. Potential story.
Negatives: Bad acting. Bad editing(even audio sync issues, and at some point even a dodgy audio sync done by someone completely else, as if the original actor didnt felt like recording lines again after they lost the original audio) Bad shaky camerawork. Poorly executed story. Bad narrative. Lots of important context missing and numerous (obvious) plotholes.
All in all, I can understand this could've been a school project and if this was so, I would totally respect and forgive all blamages. But most school project don't make an entire season of a show. And most actors would be a bit younger. So, it this reeks like a low budget production by a small studio. And for that, this show is beneath low budget level quality. I have watched it from A to Z, as I hate to do partially reviews and sometimes mid season things can change, but alas.
This show does serve greatly as an example for filmclasses, how to detect certain errors, and how to avoid them, doing it better. I give it three stars, because nobody deserves one stars because efford and attempt alone counts for something. But it is well below OK.
One important and funny addition: Michael Madsen played a influential role and isn't credited. Was this on purpose? Did he even wanted to put this on his resume? I guess not.
Even Michael Madsen didn't lift the acting levels up. It felt like he did this one a lazy sunday, and shot the entire season worth of his lines in a few hours. Logically, since his time is too valuable. But it's a shame that even Michael was acting poorly, as if he didn't memorized anything, and just line for line recorded his part. So I guess he did someone a favor, I think. I felt like he didn't wanted to be in it. Or maybe it was because he had to wear eye liner. I don't know. Dissapointing, Michael... I would expected better from you!
