Paragon: The Shadow Wars

I have just a few questions... Was this farce shot entirely with an iPhone 6? Why does it appear that every scene was done in 1 take and on low battery? How did they sucker Danny Trejo into reading the "script" out loud? (And how does he feel about going from the "B" list to a solid F?) Are the friends and family who left every one of the positive reviews aware of the dangers of enabling, and that bad acting is not a victimless crime?

Doesn't draw you in. The writing, acting, sound design, lighting, camera work, editing and sets feel like a college project.

I started watching this because it had an 8.9 rating on some 1600 reviews. I really like sci-fi, fantasy series and I am willing to put up with a lot. This series lacks a lot in production value, it reminds me of the 7th Voyage of Sinbad, shot in 1959, which I loved when I was 10! I have only watched one episode and I really don't know what is going on, the plot is cut up and there seems to be no continuity from scene to scene. Add to that, the sound quality really sucks! There is a lot of dialogue that is unintelligible. The acting is still rough and I would blame that on the director, who is not getting the most from the actors. The actors do not seem to be in sync with each other, like they are reading their lines from a teleprompter, delivering their lines independent from each other. I cannot recommend watching this even though the story might be good, and the locations are pretty good, and the actors are all very pretty, but it just does not hold together.

After first episode didn't have a couple what is about to dramatic music and all cast was poor. Would not recommend it at all

Gave it til half way throughepisode 2 and gave up. Episode 1 was mainly confusing. There was obvious info dumping but you couldn't understand what the actor was saying. Poor acting, writing & directing. 2 stars for interesting concept and attempted world building.
