Ineptly Written, Awful Acting

janssen86

The "hero" with whom the viewer is supposed to identify is a short-haired, angry and overbearing biker lesbian. In short, the writers wrote her to be the most unlikable stereotype one could think of. Unlike other reviewers, I didn't find Ruby Rose's acting engaging at all: She even tops the emptiness of the script with her monotone, wooden acting. And the corny lines the writers gave her didn't help, either: The one you saw in the trailer isn't even the worst.

To compensate for her one-dimensional, unrelatable personality, most other characters, particularly the male ones, are written to act either incompetently, or helplessly, or both. And the relationship between Kate and Sophie Moore, played by by Megan Tandy, comes across as forced as well as cringeworthy. And why did they feel the need to force Rachel Maddow into the story?

The only light in this show is cast by actress Rachel Skarsten as Alice, who plays Alice rather engagingly.
