some of you are too harsh, but justified
Usually, when I really enjoy or hate something I check the reviews to see if people are agreeing with me. Shocked to see so many people not liking this! I'm not shocked at the little amount of reviews for this, though. Marketing was terrible and only saw it once all episodes were released as it was on my all4!Now, I'm not a gamer and I've never seen "the guild" so i can't speak on whether it's a blatant rip off or if it's just a similar premise.
I agree with some points people are saying like dialogue issues, but I don't think it's very clunky too often. I was a big fan of fresh meat and I have watched it twice, so for me It was really enjoyable seeing the different style back again!
I could be nitpicky and wonder why the sex noises sounded like a washing machine door closing or why they never got fired from work, but at the same time who cares about that?? I don't want a work subplot! Give me Kingdom scrolls banter!!
I also agree that Meg being really sexual was a bit odd sometimes, but I do feel that's a common theme in shows like this. I've never heard anyone say the word "nubbin" before and I was confused everytime she said it. It was very odd.
But I am a sucker for romance!!!! I did not expect there to be an underlying romance plot and I was very pleased once it was hinted at. I really hope there is a series two so we can see how this develops! Their relationship was really cute and i gotta see it happen.
I think Nicky was a really cute character and even though when the characters got angry and it seemed a bit off, you can actually imagine it and see someone acting like this. Though, that scene with Meg at the bus stop was mega weird. But- could still see it really happening. I did enjoy the character of Meg, but I feel she's much suited to other roles like when she played Aretha in "raised by wolves" (by the way, go watch it. It's amazing. And also, overly sexual sometimes. )
Of course, Usmund was a hit with the audience. He was charming while also being a terrible, terrible father. I hated the kids' voices though. Were they said by a middle aged woman?? Russel was funny, albeit being annoying as hell. Though, that was his character!
This show is a bit of a hit or miss for people and for me I really enjoyed it. There's no harm in trying anyway, as the episodes are only 23 minutes!! Go check it out :)
Ps- that scene where you find out their rooms are right next to eachother is the best thing I've ever seen. Seriously.
score 7/10
