I don't think I've ever written a review on IMDB. I was so disappointed with this show I had to. I love love love science fiction. I love alternate reality. Dystopian futures. This show's first episode had me hooked. By episode three the terrible dialog and teeny-drama completely lost me. It's not as bad as Riverdale, but way more disappointing.

I lasted five minutes before turning it off. Is this a kids show? Everything about it feels like a bad improv show. The intro song is stupid - is it supposed to be so stupid that it's funny? I don't get it.

I had the pleasure to watch the compilation of 2009 Oscar-nominated Shorts the other night on the big screen at the Bloor Cinema, and as far as I was concerned, this one was the clear winner.

The characters and the actors were good; the cinematography was there. But it was the great short story that really made it stand out for me. To be able to tell such a compelling story and to get the audience emotionally involved in the characters in such a short time frame is really the mark of a great dramatic short film.

I came away impressed and inspired. Too bad the academy didn't completely share my opinion...
