bad, very very bad tv show


Acting is terrible or maybe it's the screenplays fault. The dialogue is terrible - it like it was made for some instruct video for children. Why God why, writers thought that they need to lead the viewer whole the time - like : " Let's go - remember we need to go to parking place at ... place number ...within 30 minutes" -- I think easier way would be just - " Let's go - we can't be late" WE PAY ATTENTION! DO YOU THINK WE ARE MINDLESS MORONS? Also what is with full names whole the time -Andrew Palmer this, Andrew Palmer that -- who talks like that? Always using full name - first and surname..crazy annoying. The main plot is bad and not much interesting. Lucas role is worst of all, like a school boy suckup, who always says everything correctly with perfect pronaunciation. I love tv shows, I watched and I watch many of them.. but this time I don't know if I make it till the end of the season. Sure I want to know how this main plot will finish but who knows if they won't leave it cliffhanger if the show gets canceled.

To sum up: Hate it, don't watch this - there is many other shows, even old ones which I am sure you need to catch up, instead of wasting time with this c-r-a-(p)

No offense but for someone who isn't a native English speaker, you really shouldn't be judging what "terrible" dialogue the show has. I had a difficult time reading what you just wrote and don't recall a lot of the things you mentioned.

forgive him, he was typing with his knee

reply

not with knee - on the knee -- You gotta pay attention to what you read! :P

and yes it is sarcasm

No offense taken, but I cannot agree - I think everyone has a right to speak about his likes and dislikes on the open discussion forum. If my message wasn't wrote well that doesn't mean I cannot see if the dialogue in tv show is good or bad.

Did I say I could do better? Where did you find that idea?

If I can't swim, can't I say that swimmer who has the worst time on the championship is a bad sportsmen?

Did you ever shout with excitment on football match you s-(u)ck!), to some player who was really bad during the game? I am sure he was still 10000 better than you in this sport. Did that mean you need to be quiet?

From now on we put our thinking caps on, ok?

I strongly disagree with you on this.

Yes, the previous 16-17 episodes was not that good and the skipping forward and back in time, kinda seem more annoying then beneficial to the show.

But the last two episodes have been great and if they had left that story as the main focus and not the Insurance, i think we would have seen a season 2.

reply

agreed - the insurance/military storyline went on way too long and contained too many totally unlikable characters.

reply

and I was right == they've left it clifhanger

reply

I agree with you about Lucas, I thought he was the worst part of the show and I may have enjoyed it more with a different lead actor at Mitch. Nothing he did ever drew me in, his delivery seemed like he was in the middle of a poor audition, not a fairly well-known actor. I stopped watching after around 6 episodes.
