it is straight-up cringe
23 December 2023
First and foremost, the acting is incredibly bad, so much so that it feels like a rushed project you would submit for school. Staying faithful to the original is great and all, but they overdid it; the voices do sound like the original, but this makes it feel like they are magicked into the real world. See it for yourself, and you'll see what I mean. Second, the plot, and with that, the pacing is so off. There's no need to explain this one, it's just straight-up bad. And lastly, the cinematography is weird. (Apologies if I overemphasize this one, I just have a thing with visuals ;) ) I've seen several long-running series that still nail their visual storytelling, but this one goes for that high-contrast cinematic look but fails to do so and instead creates this confusing tone. Is this show really a sitcom or what? It looks like batman is about to show up. And, why is the sky computer-generated? What is it with the production design?
