This show had so much potential and then basically fell flat
9 October 2022
Short review: good potential..pretty good cast...poor direction poor execution of what could have been a really good executed show..I assume it was budget and also (total assumption) that the production happened in Canada.

Long review: pretty good cast of essential nobodies- I mean other than Sarah Levy who's is probably best known for being the daughter and brother to Eugene and Dan Levy. The lead character I can't even place in anything. Like how is that possible?!

Sometimes the creative writer in me takes charge and would totally turn bad shows into good ones (imo) and there were so many missed opportunities to make this show even episodes better. Like I have no formal experience in creative writing - but there's no way I'd have so many changes.

I also understand that editing could have a lot to do with it. Since the episodes have to be reduced to a certain amount of time some important information (that could have made it better) could have been left out but still.

Special effects for shows like this are important and this show had so little special effects I started to question why. Seriously I can likely find a computer special effects person on Etsy that could have added them in.

All in all my rating is more based off of what the show could have been rather than what it was. I admittedly watching about e episodes before I was like "damn this is not great" and still proceeded to binge the rest of the episodes-I was in too deep to back out at that point. But something must be said of the way it made me want to keep watching even though it wasn't great. Seriously I stopped watching whole series because of one episodes ridiculousnesses...so I guess it's not that bad.
