To be more accurate it was not even substantial enough to be considered dreadfully bad.
I watched two episodes and a bit before accepting that it was going to be nothing but a show made of 100% recycled material, with recycled storytelling methods, recycled soundtrack, with cheap and pointless attempts made at dramatic intensity.
And recycled vocabulary! Awful writing. One thing was 'capricious' and then five minutes later something else was 'capricious'. Like the writers had to pay to use polysyllabic words so they tried to get their money's worth by using the same words every chance they could get.
If you're a snob at all about your shows, don't waste your time with this one. Put it back in the recycling bin.

I got through the pilot, episodes 1 & 2, and that will be all for me.
It is not an intelligent show. Clichéd scenario, an implied conspiracy that you know will take ages to get through in the most convoluted and boring way possible, 'B' casting, Really clichéd writing, I'm sure I've heard many of the lines before, cut and paste from other shows. Cheap contrived melodrama sub-plot, and if that is not lame enough, two episodes in and there were no cool special effects!
half way through the first episode and they are already crawling around in the ventilation ducts. Where can it go from there.
If you have half a brain give this one a pass.

The only difference between this found footage film and footage that may have actually been taken by a real Russian soldier is that the real Russian soldier probably would have been able to hold the camera without shaking it and would have kept it in focus.
Enough of this found footage technique. If it brings nothing to the storyline, then it's not worth the pain of watching it. To me the filming technique was overbearing and outweighed anything the movie might have been. It is just annoying to watch. And again there is zero character depth or development, partly due to the filming technique.
Alright, the monsters are great, good enough to rate all the five stars. If you want to see good monsters, then watch it. The acting is dodgy, the plot minimal, and you just won't care who gets gored because again there is no depth to the characters. If you're plain tired of found footage, give this one a pass.
