Was hoping this was a good sci-fi show to get into - it wasn't..
Some comments say that the 'negative reviews are due to people not watching it all the way through'. I did watch the whole 48 minutes.
1. It is not "Sci-Fi" as currently tagged. Having one scene with people using see through touch screens, some bad wigs, and a couple of splashes of red hair dye doesn't make a show 'sci-fi'.
2. The show is basically pushing an agenda about aboriginal culture, and some kind of segregation and living conditions.
3. There are overly long and slow dialogues with the camera panning everywhere.
4. The best part of the show is the cinematography. However - the bar fight scene about 42 minutes sways so much it seems to have been shot on a rocking sail boat.
5. The biggest disappointment in the acting for me was Iain Glen (Jorah from Game of Thrones). His character is a media mogul who owns a TV station. A Game of Thrones extra made of painted cardboard would have done a better job.
6. There's a guy who does a ritual by the water, reminiscent of the fountain scene at the start of "Hand of God". He looks like a crazy Santa, and its the best part of the show.
7. There's a pointless sex scene about 30 minutes in, where the guy collapses during the act. Maybe he wasn't wearing protection - who knows ..
It tries to be 'urban' and mysterious.
As a tax payer, I am disheartened to read that this has already been renewed for a second season. Obviously someone thought they were 'doing the right thing' even if the show is totally rubbish.
