Given the popularity of the genre and the unlikely, but still interesting scenario it's suprising on how many levels this fails. Since this doesn't deserve a several pages long essay, let me pick one such failure that is so glaringly obvious that it can be easily avoided in the future by whoever gives this another try.
Holes.
More specifically: Holes in clothing. Some are really important, because otherwise your head would get stuck while trying to dress.Others are supposed to be sexy or accentuate certain features, for example the cleavage, while technically still being holes. Especially children manage to make new holes by accident, wearing and tearing the fabric.
And then there are the holes someone cut into new clothes with a scissor, looked at them and said: This looks totally cool. Which it never did, not in the 80's when I did it, and not when you are doing it right now, and certainly not in this series. You and me, we can be forgiven, because we were young, or in your case: Are still young.
But if you cut random holes with a scissor into clean, new clothes, and you put them on a fresh faced guy with clean cut, styled hair full of product and think that he looks like a survivor out in the desert now, you don't have an excuse.
Especially not if, as I assume, it is your job to make costumes, or be a stylist, or the director, someone, anyone on that set who had to look at this guy, desperately trying to act in his grade school haloween hobo costume, and you didn't say: Wait! This looks freaking ridiculous! People will point and laugh at our series! Even if we do everything else right, and we won't, nothing will be able to survive this!
It really makes you wonder what was going on on that set. And that it probably was far more interesting than anything I just watched. Drugs. Sabotage. A secret strike. Overdoing it with the bring-your-kid-to-work-day. Someone losingt a bet.
It's hard to believe that something like can happen in a place where professionals work together without any monumental desaster in the background.
