It's a shame as you can see some real effort and enthusiasm has gone into this, however it's all been for nothing.
So far the episodic release of the show has served only to make it feel disjointed, where as perhaps a single 20 minute pilot would've served better, there's certainly a lot of duff material that could have been left on the cutting room floor.
There in't really a good performance in the cast, I feel no connection to these characters and frankly don't like any of them, without reading the synopsis I wouldn't have been aware of the main romance between 'Becky' and 'Tails'. Really little is done to establish any sort of depth to any of the characters, it would be generous to call them 2- Dimensional. I feel it's unfair to solely blame the writing or acting in this instance as both are so poor. I can only imagine these are a group of friends who have offered to help rather than successful actors from a round of auditions.
The jokes seem to mostly be derived from the theory of crass = funny, which can be the case if there's any humour involved, in this case there isn't. The jokes, despite their adult nature, are so juvenile I struggle to find who they are aimed at. The script is devoid of wit.
There's no sense that this is a unique group of people, the premise of metal enthusiasts serves no purpose to the plot and gives the show a very dated feel.
While it's always good to write about things of personal relevance there has to be a connection to a wider audience.
I would like to commend the redeeming features of this show but, with such wooden acting, inane writing and cack-handed direction, I can find none.
