the scripts rubbish, the actings laughable and the filming's piss poor...
other than that, quite good.
I guess the real target audience for this is teens/schoolkids. I'm outside that demograph but I can see what they're getting at. For me the real problem with this is that I felt there was nothing new here, perhaps the script has a dark underbelly of youth experience in it's future, but based on this offering i don't think I'd be coming back. They could have done with a lot more light and better camera work, the script is a bit repetitive, the casts not that bad, it's just sloppy overall. I watched it on the Storyland site. It's too long, (which most of them are)
I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when RTE Storyland received this...
