So - this program is just weird. It is supposed to be set in the far flung future where everyone is accepted and equal - yet people are divided into sectors and classes (by their work position), and they pay tribute to their founder through dance ? Why - no idea !!
For a futuristic utopian society - they really haven't evolved much and the society is very Nazi like in its presentation - even down to a salute and propaganda posters !
You can tell from the start that the show is aimed at a black culture, because even though everyone is supposed to be equal in race, there are more black actors than there are any others and hints of black musical culture and art are scattered throughout. I guessed the creator was black before i looked him up and before Snoop Dog was revealed as the voice of the archive - a library found by the supposed 16 year olds (who look like 20 - 30 year olds) dedicated to the past. So this entirely defies the initial concept of the show.
The show comes across as a rip off of the hunger games and a singing / dancing show such as the X-factor.
The whole episode is just weird and the singing is far too autotuned to be enjoyable. They all sound like they belong in a tacky boy / girl band ! The dancing is also lacking individualism and the dancers were obviously choreographed by the same person. I don't know if this was supposed to be deliberate or not ?
The actors and actresses weren't good enough to hold my attention through this strange puzzle of a show. Everything is just all over the place and as such it didn't hold my interest long enough to make me want to watch a second episode !
