Just finished this and am wondering about the one and only review, as well as the 7.6 rating.
It has long been known that production companies can and do cook the reviews and ratings, especially weighted reviews, but is this some kind of experiment?
It is a homage, and it reminds you that it is using black and white, tableux's and cigarette burns (see Fight Club).
But I mean, they're just lobbed in there for good measure and feel a wee bit too forced?
And this brings me to the script and acting. Yes, I get that this is a homage, and uses a comic as the source of inspiration....
But it is a rather blandly performed piece that has some funny moments, but maybe I am not the target audience?
It is nicely shot, has sets, decent CGI, but it is just a wee bit flat and this is why it seems like experimental TV.
Maybe it is highbrow and succulent in it's form. Maybe I'm just too critical and cynical...
But how this has 7.6 is beyond me. And that very first review? Reads more like a love letter than a critical overview.
