La Brea watchseries. Thought Manifest had the worst acting ever but this? This is just next level. Good to remind you why broadcast is dead.
Terrible show. Story line is horrible combined with bad acting. CGI graphics is not believable.
The series had potential. A scifi about a sink hole that leads to another time or dimension. But cram it with bad acting, bad and unreal dialog, CHEESY special effects (the wolves look like they leapt out of a video game, circa 2010) and unlikable characters you don't have much. I can't help thinking that cable has completely eclipsed broadcast network TV which are still treated the audience as morons and sufferers of ADHD. I could rip this program to bits addressing each silly part, but it's not worth it.
Prediction is it's canceled after 3 episodes . This show sucks. I've seen better cgi on zoom conferences and better story telling by a 3 year old. Epic fail.
We watched the whole pilot because I think we were in a state of total disbelief. "It can't really be THIS bad, can it? It has to settle in and get better, doesn't it? Maybe it's supposed to be a comedy?"
The most atrocious network premiere I've seen in years, and that's saying something. Disjointed, inconsistent, ludicrous writing with absolutely no original premise to build on; in just one episode there are already plot holes evident that are large enough to drive one of the actor's dressing-room trailers through; cardboard, unbelievable characters that you just know were summed up in a notebook somewhere on set with "two dominant characteristics plus one 'fatal flaw'"; and in an era where we've come to expect halfway decent CGI effects, this looks like it was done as a 7th-grade project by kids just learning Adobe Premiere and After Effects. In fact, I'll bet I could take a group of interested 7th graders and have them doing a better job in 30 days.
I feel sorry for the actors who thought they were getting an exciting, innovative, network prime-time drama. It's difficult to fault some of the shoddy work we saw in the first episode: it must have been like being told you were getting a Maserati and then being handed a bottle of glue and a 1/64th-scale, plastic, assemble-it-yourself model.
There are no doubt episodes already in the can that are a sunk cost for NBC, so I'm certain those will air. But the best and most humane thing the network could do right now is cease and desist, and mercifully let this travesty be put out of its misery and vanish from memory once those already-produced episodes air.
