The Last Bus

New batch of young British actors and we are bound to see a few become future stars like Robert Sheehan. The characters and the acting are the best thing and the soundtrack is pretty memorable (reminds of Vangelis). Great to see the Eden Project used as a location as that place has been an ideal SciFi set for 20 years.

I find it next to impossible to believe that a high tech facility like this place has no security guards or locked doors and that these kids would be able to run around wherever they want without getting caught. Also, if you are trying to kill off someone, the smart thing to do is seal the room so that there is no chance of escape.

God forbid we should expect any realism from a kids show.

I have absolutely no sympathy for any of the characters and wish they had all been vaporized by the end of the first episode. The main character, Nas, being the worst of the lot as he is supposed to be the smartest, but also the least disciplined, not listening to his older sister and running off.

It's an easy watch but Misha needs to tone down a lot she is my least favorite. She is a bit too negative for my taste compare to the others. It almost feels like a fight with her every single episode to just do the right thing and when you think she has learned she manages to prove you wrong. Show premise is really enjoyable and it is meant for kids and not adults so I don't know why so many are taking it that serious. It is a good in-between show.

The actors can't act, the story is slower than a snail, I've seen better special effects and CG in university projects, the script just sucks, and the characters are just not interesting in the slightest.

The best part of this show is easily the boy with the yellow jacket, his acting is miles more impressive than the rest of them until episode 5.

Nas is just robotic, and not as a character trait, as in an actor can't act type of robotic.

Misha is just hard to watch, her character just doesn't develop and her mood in each scene doesn't relate to the scene at all. She's also just horrid to all the other characters, and yet she is still friends with Sophie, the one she insults the most.

Tom is like the same but opposite than Misha, his character's mood is always angry, even in times where it wouldn't make sense for anyone to be angry. He also talks like a wannabe army actor and it just doesn't work.

Chelsea is alright I guess, but her character is a bit all over the place. At least she displays the right mood at the right time.

Sophie is meant to be an older sister, but it's like her character was written by two different people, one knew she had a younger brother, and the other didn't. Her character type is just completely broken and doesn't make sense.

Bethan doesn't really have a character trait, she's just sorta... there. They try and give her character some trait in episode 5, but it was just completely out of the blue and didn't fit. You'll see what I mean.

Last notable character, Dalton Monkhouse, played by the amazing Robert Sheehan from Umbrella Academy. His character is easily the worst. This is a case where I really hope it's based off of bad writing because he is a fantastic actor. His character in this is just hard to watch, it just makes me cringe. It's not even a believable character. I can't put into words how bad the character is displayed.

I really can't tell if this is based off of a book or if it's an original. If it's based off of a book, I feel bad for the author. If it's an original, the writer needs a different profession.

TLDR: Slow story but an interesting concept, terrible acting, worse writing, not worth watching.

Its for the young once. No doubt. I would loved it up to 8 at the rateing if I was a teenager. The age different in this class are a bit weird. Anyway i binged the season. Found it amusing. Even got entertainment. And am an old ass man. Exited to see if there will be a ses2. Rateing are silly low.
