The Dream Motel

I loved watching this series. Very well done. Intetrsting episodes.

While this series isn't theologically heavy, I find it enjoyable nonetheless.

If I could stay at the Dream Motel in real life, and Jeff Armstrong could will this show out of existence, I would do it without hesitation.

I'm not sure if I can explain just how bad this show is- how messed up it's morality is, and how absolutely hog wild it is.

"Oh you want to have an abortion? Oh haha well jokes on you you're going to die before you're thirty! Still want don't want that kid?"

"Oh taking care of your disabled brother is stressful, and sometimes you feel very normal human emotions about wishing he wasn't such a burden on your life? *poof* haha well now you're an alcoholic ex convict! So really we didn't get you to appreciate your brother at all, and instead only tricked you into accepting him by showing you what a mess your life would be otherwise! Emotional growth? Psh, whose got time for that."

I'd recommend this show to anyone who either loves horrible shows and movies, or anyone ignorant enough to download anything from Pureflix.

I opened an account on IMDB just to review this series. GREAT premise. Terrible acting!! I made it halfway through Brother's Keeper and I'm quitting in disgust. First of all, the lead actress in this episode is the first to learn her lines and eliminate the awkward Pinter pauses and strange inflections that make everyone sound like they're lying through their teeth. Bravo!! Her character has an obvious case of caregiver burnout and this so called messenger of God doesn't even counsel her or offer her some relief. Showing none of the mercy the Savior would, he contemptuously shames her out the door into a post jail life. I want to say exactly how I feel about what the "film makers" have done here but then I wouldn't be sharing the love of Christ and I would be doing exactly what they did with this series. I will say I think it was poorly executed and not at all indicative of the message we as Christians should be portraying. Please get your actors on a stage so they can improve their timing. It's beyond frustrating to me how many Christian films I've turned off because Directors are using either immature or lazy actors who have little to no connection with their fellow scene partners and who couldn't convince me to buy water in the Sahara. I switched from Netflix to Pureflix so I could invite the Spirit into my home more. If the quality of Christian film making doesn't improve, I won't renew next year. I also will not be finishing this series. Brother's Keeper needed help and love not guilt and shaming. I'm trying very hard not to wish it on the writers and director who should know better.

This is the worst television I've seen, and that includes every training video forced on me by my employers. At least "Reefer Madness" made me laugh once or twice.

Bad directing. Bad acting. Bad pacing. Bad dialogue. Bad writing all around.

In the first 5 minutes of the pilot episode, they mangled several commonly used phrases, which is why their dialogue sounds stilted and forced. It's "well and good," not "good and well."

They use fear to motivate the "guests" instead of guiding them towards empathy and compassion. If you don't get with the program, bad things will happen to you. It should be about good being done rather than how bad it would otherwise be, even though that bad has zero to do with a guest's actual issue.

I won't give details of bad plot lines (I couldn't stomach watching long enough to get to the end of even one episode,) but if you're gullible enough to watch this because the premise had promise you'll see what I mean pretty quickly.

Watch reruns of "Seventh Heaven" or "Touched by an Angel" if you need a religious programming fix. There's a reason those shows were renewed multiple times. This show needs to die a quick, merciful death.
