Finally found time to watch the first two episodes!! (I'm in the middle of a move, downsizing from a 3 bed house to a small 1 bed bungalow, it's not easy :s lol).
I really enjoyed it on the whole, the hacker transvestite is my biggest bug bear tbh, the whole character feels like it's forced. I'm not sure if it's the actor trying to hard, or he's a bit uncomfortable in the role and is playing it too stereotyped, or he's just a bad actor, lol. I also find all the sudden changes in volume (and all the flashing lights in ep 2) a tad annoying...or maybe that's just me being a grumpy old woman :p
Good luck on the move! They're never fun on the whole.... Sure, they may start off exciting, but they're always so much more work than you recall - especially when downsizing!!!
I agree Job the TV/TS? is a bit one note. Seems like a stereotyped drag queen without any real background to the character at this point,although I did like the necklace detonator! XD
Not sure you caught the post here, but they released 13 origin webisodes that fill in back story for each character.I watched them all and they're fun, but they do have some info in them that probably will come out in the episodes. So despite being back story they do act as spoilers at times.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
This series may be the biggest surprise of the season for me!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun and just a fun ride every week... judging by the first twp episodes at least.
Good to hear, I've just got the first 2 episodes this morning. I managed to miss this show starting somehow, not sure how, lol.
ReplyDeleteIt does require a certain amount of suspension of disbelief, but not as much as many series I guess.
