I agree with another reviewer here for episode 2. I'm not there yet, or this show just isn't "there" yet for me. Same as I mentioned in my review for the pilot episode. I LOVED SPN and I really really wanted to love this prequel too. SPN seemed effortless in being engaging and hooking fans from the get go. This show has a ways to go.
Again with the yellow-ish lighting in some scenes. Why? At times it seems this show is trying too hard.
It's not horrible, but it has to get better than what has aired so far to warrant all the 10's on here.
Come on, you can't just automatically give each episode a 10 for nostalgia sake!
The character I'm having the hardest time connecting to here is Mary. She's so bossy and demanding and to be honest it's annoying. We're supposed to care about and emotionally connect with these characters, not be annoyed. Carlos and Latika need more depth. Don't just make them comedic relief.
I was hoping that Ada was a relative of Missouri Mosley, that would've been cool. So far all John is doing is carrying out orders that Mary barks out.
Depth and emotional connections are needed. These young unknown actors also need to not try so hard. And please stop with the forced yellow lighting and poor haircut and clothing styles that simply do not look correct for 1972.
A 6 for me, and that's being generous, this show is far from a 10. Just being honest. I'm not going to dish out a 10 for each episode just because I loved SPN. I'll watch a few more episodes, but so far no hook for me.
