Wow this is bad. I tried, really tried to give it a go, but it is so flat, shallow and poorly written and then over directed and edited. It tries to be cool, stylish and clever but the creators don't seem to understand how to do any of those things. Instead they are just copying what others have done, without understanding why others did it they way they did.
The story, as far as I got, is of three people in their early 20s (?) who all were given an experimental medication and when they run out of their 'pills' they each find they have a condition that develops. Somewhat like super powers, but with downsides. They try to get more pills, but the 'doctor' who's been giving them to them disappears.
In their quest to find out where he is, who he is and what happen they meet each other and another doctor to try and solve their collective and individual issues.
The story has hug holes. Why did their parents allow this to happen? Why didn't they go to a regular hospital when this happen, or call their parents who allowed them start on this medication? Why is no one else at the clinic like assistants, nurses, receptionist, other patients? Doesn't that seem odd? It's so contrived it is drives you nuts. You can't help but ask these questions because the show isn't engrossing enough to keep your mind from wandering off and thinking of these things.
Time seems to hop around as well as the characters jump around without any means of how or when they moved to a new location, only to reappear back together again, through, I guess ESP and magic as no one has a car or takes an Uber. They seem to have cell phones, but these are more props for emotion content creation than adding any logic to the program.
The directing is a mishmash of fractured shots cobbled together in an effort to create something...I'm not sure what. But it doesn't put us in the shoes of the characters or their conditions. It just leaves you wondering what is going on.
The writing sucks and is full of stilted scene clumsily made to pass off needed information or attempts at character building. The emotional depth of the writing and characters is that of puddle.
Perhaps I'm not the audience for this program, but if you want something edgy, dark and humorous and about people in this age group, watch Wednesday instead. It is so much better made.
