Rambling and pointless

The concept had real possibilities, but given how badly this was blown I gave it a one star. This cliche riddled short made it painfully obvious very quickly that not only the writers weren't even alive in the 1960's because the missed the whole zeitgeist of the era. A good writer could have captured the feel of the era though regardless of when they were born. And more importantly unlike an acid trip there were no profound emotional revelations about Leary or Grant. The script committed the cardinal sin of writing - it gave us no reason to care about the men and the script was boring.

The acting was good, they sounded like Grant and Leary but given the script and the clueless directing I guess they did they couldn't really do much with it.

Anyhow, there are better shows to tune into and dropout to.
