Describing just how insanely bad this waste of time (both theirs and mine), work and money could ever be properly expressed in words is undeniably impossible . The only way anyone could possibly understand the sheer depth of just how bad this show is would be to try watching it yourselves.
I don't remember ever seeing Andrew Hunsicker (Detective Christopher Petrowski), in another movie or show but if I had, the horrendous acting skills portrayed in this waste of time and space, would have made me forget him altogether anyway. While there's a chance he's a good actor in other productions, his performance here is unequivocally horrendous as is most all of the other cast members. There is so much wrong in casting him as the lead in this role that it's nothing short of a crime.
Both Michael Everette Johnson (Captain Beverly) and Evangeline Young (Angela) I do remember from other productions. Both of which are excellent actors in their own rights. So why their performances here suffered so severely, and how bad this film is on so many levels, can only be blamed on the director, writers, producers and casting personal. Everyone and everything failed these actors at every turn.
The director seems to have been asleep at the wheel when it came to pulling the best and correct performance for the characters out of the actors. The sound, more crap! First of all, it sounded as if it was filmed mostly inside a tin can. They certainly didn't make the best use of background music in the first episode and at least half of the second one. Which is where I stopped watching because it was beginning to actually be physically painful (major headache) to watch.
It is my understanding that this is supposed to pass for a low budget film but judging on the direction, production, casting, acting, sound and story telling it's filming budget could not have been so extravagant as to actually be classified as a low budget film. Indeed the budget must have come out of whatever the cast and crew had in their pockets at the time.
As far as trying to comment more on the story telling portion of the show I must confess, I am only referring to the first episode and half of the second. I tried, I really tried, to watch this travesty long enough to get at least a sense of what the story is trying to tell. But there was absolutely nothing to even attempt to draw me in. It's a Black Hole. The show just sucks and gives nothing back.
Do yourselves a favor, skip this show. Those that are telling people that this show is a "must watch" or that it is a good show are the kind of people who like to watch themselves pulling the wings off of flies and then leave them to die in, what must be, excruciating, searing, agonizing pain.
That's what you'll feel after trying to watch this mind numbing, less than 15 minutes long but seems like an hour trying to get through it, useless material.
Since I can not give it a 0 I'm forced to give it a 1, which it definitely does not deserve even that much but we're stuck with it.
Watch at your own risk.
