Before watching the first episode hopes were high for this one...a good, if familiar premise (think the BBC show Life On Mars...)...but within 5 minutes it was obvious this thing was stinking the place up something rotten...everyone was overacting, everything was dialled up way beyond 11, nobody was able to tone it down even for a moment...somebody behind the camera should have called "Cut!" and given cast and crew and stern talking to about the theory that Less Is More...Not a good advert for Brazilian productions and if you've seen The Pink Cloud you'll know that Time Hustler could be in no way representative...we stuck it to the end of the first episode then my wife asked "We're not going to watch another one of these, are we?" and I wholeheartedly concurred...if you want an exercise in what to avoid, watch the first episode, then you'll see why...avoid, my friends, avoid.
