Over/Under
(2013)

Fail
Sorry, but no. We have no reason to care about two very spoiled main characters and their "troubled" life. The story and its characters could have been handled in more mature and empathetic ways if these writers wanted to connect with their audience. Instead we are left with unlikable brats who clearly have nothing more than selfish motives throughout. An audience is capable of liking people like these, but it needs to be given a reason. We are given nothing. Additionally, I feel like the creators wanted to make something provocative and artistic and in the process built a 90 minute episode where no real story develops for the first half of it. It is a snooze-fest but there is a some nice music thrown in here and there, if you can forgive the awfully cheesy slow motion crap associated with those moments.

Disappointment
I had high hopes and I love watching the first episode of nearly any show, to see how the creators set up all the characters and mysteries that may last for years, but this one was really not enjoyable. One of the few TV pilot episodes I've abandoned halfway through.

The scenes were self-indulgent, and I'm not sure why this actress, as she did in her feature film, loves showing naked parts of her body all the time.

The show just had a lot of that "I can make mundane trivial details about life interesting" arrogance, without really giving us anything to hold onto.
