The Deleted

I was taken back at first by the soft core porn vibe the sexuality of the show has but I am not closed minded. I find nothing awful about it. The people in the show are attractive young people in LA and it makes sense that they'd be half naked. The characters have a sexually hyperactive and at times deviant lifestyle. It is what it is. I appreciate the frank nature of an American series that doesn't hide behind America's ridiculous fear of nudity and sexuality. That said I like the odd, horror, thriller series but I haven't gotten past episode 5 yet so I can't give a fully developed review in that regard to the series as a whole.

The Deleted, ostensibly, a series about escaped members of a cult, and how they get tracked down by the loyal members of that same cult, is actually just a vehicle upon which Easton Ellis can project his sexual frustrations. That the writer-director is gay, is immediately made clear by the endless parade of nude white male supermodels , all of them super WASPs, despite one actor hailing from Costa Rica: its the whitest country in Latin America. w This is not a movie for hetero sexuals, the sole nude girl Agatha (Madeline Brewer) is not all that pretty, and the pretty girl Breedy (Amanda Czerny) is, how to put this politely.... "overly voluptuous", and not nude. The one girl who is both pretty and has a good body, Kylie (Alissa Violet), or Logan Conrads cousin, is sexy in a bikini. And frankly, the whole atmosphere of the series spurs one to believe the two cousins are about to have sex at any moment, but she is not nude. The story is a bit confusing in the beginning, because there are so many characters and they all look alike A LOT, just like in a Japanese manga. They all look like they came from some Bruce Weber catalog.

If you have a jar a Vaseline and an addiction to soft core porn, enjoy it. As for a show with actors, writers, and a script....try something else because this is an empty sack of nonsense. If you maturity is over the age of 18 you will gag at the hollowness. As a show, there is nothing here but bad, terrible, and worse. To this day I still am amazed of how bad some shows can be, but this one even surprised me at the level of bad.It's either written by sexually frustrated 30 year old's or hormone challenged teens who just figured out about human body parts who's only experience in life is an app on their iphone to some bad teen porn site.

Do yourself a favor, spare yourself from this spectacle of bad. This is beyond awful, not bad, just really really awful.

This show is a complete nonsense. I know that there are bad shows, but I'm still surprised of how bad this is. So 10-16 year olds favorite social media stars are in a 18+ series, acting SO BADLY and well, I don't even have words anymore. This is pretty much just soft core porn. Tho even porn has better actors that this show. Anyways, I really recommend you to not waste your time for this .. really awful soft core porn that's definitely not a normal TV-show.

This series is more superficial than the serial killer protagonist from American Psycho. Bret Easton Ellis has unfortunately failed to redeem himself after The Canyons. The acting is poor, and the story line beyond the premise simply uninteresting. The series does have some decent production value. The problem is that it was not executed effectively. I doubt audiences from a younger generation who have come to see the bar raised with Game of Thrones would subscribe to something this poorly developed. I think that unless you are easily satisfied with pretty faces, sexy bodies, and gratuitous romance, I wouldn't waste your time.
