Vagrant Queen

Well I watched episode one and here's my 2 cents.

The storyline isn't original by any standards , you know the age ol' heir to the throne trying to survive while the current over lords try to capture or kill them gag . The acting was mediocre at best there were times that I looked away cause it was embarrassing to keep watching but being a sci fi nerd I had to get through it . The special effects and CGI feels like they were done by a graphic designer finishing up their degree ( I am sure you will be great mate but you arnt there yet) Overall not a good start but I will give it another episode or two a chance and then stop following.

Yeah. A few minutes in and I had to acquire an alcoholic beverage to finish it. So-so to bad acting, cheesy lines, bad jokes, plot holes bigger than a planet.

BUT! LISTEN! That is what it is SUPPOSED to be! Do not click watch to see epic sci-fi. Click watch to see beings just trying to make a living in a verse, click to see salvage operations, space ships that need repair, bars full of bar flies of all kinds, and in spite of all the cheesiness, an almost realistic grit and desperation you see in real life. I gave it a 6 because it will do, for this viewer who is addicted to all things space, until other shows come along. After the alcohol hit, it got more tolerable, even enjoyable, AS LONG AS I REALIZED WHAT TO EXPECT.

It made as much sense as Space Balls, so there's that.

I'm really enjoying following the series so far, it's surprising. It plays with tropes in such a way that you get thrown around emotionally, and narratively. I've laughed a lot, but then something will happen, or there'll be a moment which hits you out of the blue, and suddenly your sad, or feeling the love and warmth between these characters. The baddie is a truly bad baddie, and the sudden spikes of extreme violence in this show keep you on your toes and offset the almost Dad joke style humor. But why do Dad's get to have all the funny cheesy jokes. Reclaim the cheese.... yes please!!!

It's like a collection of cringe moments :)

I don't mind the really bad CGI, costumes and so on but the main character is so not interesting. Empty characters and copy/paste elements from other movies or games. Really bad production with nothing original. AND it has that MTV cheap and PC show style which is really really awful.

I wanted to like this show when it was described to me as "Guardians of the Galaxy with a black female lead". Sadly, it's worse than a cheap 80's Saturday morning show and some of those were at least entertaining, which this is not.

I haven't been watching much on SyFy and have yet to see a new show on that channel that is any good. This is the station that canceled the excellent show, The Expanse, that was fortunately picked up by Amazon Prime.
