GenLock season 1 is a fun time. It's not anything special, but it's enjoyable with great action. And a fantastic Opening sequence.
THAT is the only reason i'm not rating this show a 1/10.
Unfortunately, after season 1, RoosterTeeth sold the IP and gave everything over to HBOMax and that gave rise to the absolute nightmare that is GenLock Season 2.
As soon as I started watching season 2, the drastic drop in Visual quality, direction, sound design, etc was blatantly apparent. And it only got worse from there.
Random fully nude animated sex scenes, enjoyable characters from the first season killed off for shock value with little to no fanfare , characters making bafflingly stupid or evil decisions for absolutely no reason.
It's an absolute mess that keeps getting worse and worse with each episode leading up to a final episode that is just bafflingly stupid in ways I couldn't even imagine.
If we were just talking about season 1, I would be tempted to give this show a 6 or 7 out of 10.
But the fact is that GenLock Season 2 is quite possibly the WORST THING I'VE EVER SEEN ON TV. And that means it drags to whole show down with it.
RoosterTeeth, if you're listening, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't give RWBY or any of your other IPs to HBOMax or anyone else. Clearly they don't know how to properly handle them.
