SciFi Fails Again - Another Badly Made show

Oh well... the previews made it look like it would be an interesting show. Paul Blackthorne is a charismatic enough actor with a lot of talent and the premise lent itself to interesting stories.

But then again, it's all in the execution, isn't it? The supporting cast, especially Valerie Cruz, is either miscast or just plain bad. The writing is pedestrian at best and, perhaps most damningly, the show is just poorly made.

Hand-held camera work has its place. It really does. But 45 minutes straight of hand held camera? Why? What is that supposed to mean? Is it an attempt at making bad scenes "exciting"? But what is exciting about an endlessly unstable camera? Nothing.

A pointless show, very badly directed. Another failure for the Skiffy Channel.

score 3/10
