Horrible

The intro was the first warning sign that this show was going to be s h i t t y but I stuck with it cause I need more show to watch. Well I can honestly say that I wasted 29 minutes of my life on this show the plot went no where the characters were all boring and one dimensional the old people sucked and the young people couldnt act.

If I said I would be interested in what other people thought that would be a lie because if anyone liked this show they must be missing some brain cells.

guess engaging in that kind of "action" brings it with it that you are probably not the best actor, but still. and there is a lot of random stuff that has a filler feeling to it, which is also bad considering the show has no more than 20 Minutes to cope with.

The only believable and interesting thing is the setup and its dynamics where some rather different people have this instant kind of attraction and how that challenges them and affects them personally. but the acting is mediocre at best, the lines are dull, the scenery has an 80ies touch as someone else already mentioned, and there is no character development or any development at all so we could care for anyone of these people.

a softporn made into a tv-show, that it is. and that is really not enough.

This is by far the worst Cinemax After Dark series ever. This show would have to improve to be considered manure.

I agreed.

I 3rd that and totally agree with Mark (the OP). I gave this show a shot after "Strikeback" the other day, but I feel like I wasted half an hour of my life as well. The writing is extremely poor as is the acting (especially the three leads, the British guy can't save the rest), the character development is almost non-existent, the actors are not believable in their roles at all, and that intro is atrocious. I tried the second episode just to make sure I wasn't being harsh and switched it off when they were having sex in the zoo and they showed the montage of all the animals *beep*ing.

I mean, I'm not expecting Emmy caliber stuff here on Cinemax Afterdark but you'd think they'd want to put a strong show out there, especially now that they are getting into more serious original programming (Strikeback)... well, serious for Cinemax that is. This is a *huge* step backward from "Lingerie", which you could actually sit through and watch despite the story being relatively lame. I hope they can this crap fast and put some serious effort into making something quality yet with that Cinemax adult edge to it.

I think it's great with a show that is far away from all the PC shows that falls out the the A--HOLE of Hollywood TV producers!

Was not aware that american tv shows could show tits set in motion of hard sex. Actors look great. Acts fine. Script is best when it's funny, like the two old people dropping in from time to time.

It's a keeper as long as we have so many lousy shows out there. Need the balance.
