Where do we start here? Maybe the script? Yes it is very poorly written. The trailer gives the feeling that a boy is kidnapped and this is the story of his family and police desperately looking for him. But oh boy, the series is anything but that. We are served a smorgasbord of social issues and this is mid 80s New York. I might have liked a documentary about this era, not this mishmash of a story.
Well, the characters, again oh boy, were they written in a way that we are not supposed to like them or is it the bad script again or both? Even BC can't save the day, maybe he didn't like the story as well. Characters are almost all one-dimensional, we don't know why mom and dad are fighting, no background story on the detective, except that he is gay and his boyfriend is about to die because of AIDS.
The kidnapped son doesn't shine either. Did he just run away with the homeless guy to live underground because his dad was too busy to check his drawings? He doesn't show any emotions. And that stupid monster, Eric, was he supposedly Vincent's alter ego or whatever?
There is no point to whatsoever waste any time for this garbage. It is not a drama, not a comedy, I am not sure, what it was. If only the boy died at the end then maybe the series could have been saved. His extremely irritating mom would have deserved this ending.
