**SEASON ONE REVIEW:**
Season Rating: 5/10
Overall Rating: 5/10
I watched the first film and plan to watch the second, so thought I may as well squeeze in the television series too.
Like the original film, this isn't anywhere near good. However, it does work better as a TV show rather than as a film. The short episodes are key, if they were even just another 10 minutes longer then I wouldn't have tuned into this; ~20mins per episode is a smart choice. I still found it a chore to sit through, even though it does have a weird sorta charm to it... kinda. It's self-aware at times, which helps.
I'm fine with the main quintet of lead actors, though Alkoya Brunson (Eric) is the standout and the only one I can say entertained me; albeit in patches. Jeremy Howard (Vooch) is mildly amusing, also. The cast are alright in fairness, it's more so the writing and direction which let this down. All the 'stories' are very lame and lack creativity, at least in my opinion. A bit of freshness would be good.
There are worse shows out there, without doubt. 'Malibu Rescue' isn't anything all that positive though.
