Poor Dialog, Inconsistent Plot Lines
12 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The dialog is horribly written, the acting is less than great, and you have to endure the "praying" which consists of oral/manual stimulation. The plot inconsistencies are numerous and wide sweeping, especially around the main premise of two sighted kids in a world of blind people. I mean come on, you get a tiny box of a few select books (most of which seem to be reading primers) and suddenly these kids know all about DNA and genetics? To the show's credit, they have done a good job constructing a blind society, with tattoos made from scarring so the raised bumps can be felt, or clothing and accessories designed to be tactile instead of visual, people crawl around a lot and there's a lot of touching going on. But for all of that effort, the dialog is where the show takes a huge dive, with people varying between normal sounding "modern" words and tribal guttural grunts and clicks. Sometimes they speak small simple words without prepositions, sometimes they speak in full detailed sentences with advanced vocabulary. It's massively inconsistent and difficult to listen to.
