OK, I get it. It's Australian and the CW needed a "cheap" summer series now that some of their old reliable standbys are going off the air. But could they have mounted something that was, perhaps, INTERESTING?
Having lived through the 70's as a teenager, I have my own firm memories of films from the time, and this show is trying to capture some of that vibe. But, that vibe was really boring unless you were stoned off you keyster most of the time. So this show *tries* to capture the vibe, and it really succeeds with so many boring scenes of pot-smoking, parties, and"insightful" conversations brought on by weed and other drugs that it falls flat within 10 minutes after it started.
I won't give away any of the plot, since there seems to not be one. It's all stoners, surfing and subplots that could have been stolen from "HAIR."
