Vagrant Queen

"Cheesy", "Campy", "Retro"...? Do you truly understand what those terms mean? They only apply to shows that are able to be described that way and still be enjoyable! Vagrant Queen is NOT an enjoyable show. Horrid acting, especially by the lead actress. Makeup is questionable as to whether they're trying to look like crap or they ARE just crap. The effects are the only standout but with the technology available to almost any production budget nowadays... I'm not surprised.

To make matters worse is the amount of 8, 9 and 10 star reviews. Are you serious? It's rare to see ANYTHING that truly rates a 9 or a 10. To see so many highly rated reviews on this title is proof that they're likely actor and production staff for this show. Don't trust them... don't waste your time.

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.

First up this is clearly a show with a tiny budget, and so it has some rough edges. But damn it's fun. Funny, energetic, and irreverent yet somehow is already injecting some solid heart and feels in there.

The show looks stunning, the three core characters have great chemistry, the villain is the best kind of over the top unstable. Fun soundtrack keeps the pace up. So many nods to other sci-fi seemingly poking fun at the cliches it's using.

I couldn't believe how quickly the episode went, and how much happened. In an age of film length stories dragging themselves out over the hours and hours of a tv series, this was a breath of fresh air. So sad not to be able to binge the lot.

Some of the VFX are a bit shoddy, the CG feels especially dated, and while I appreciated the bright colours and style they were going for, I wish they had opted for an even more lofi approach and used old school physical models instead.

But I've already watched the pilot twice, and am eager for more, I hope they keep it up, and if they do, it'll be the easy tv pleasure I so often crave.

Fire the Casting Director. The lead actress cannot act and lacks charisma and personality. The cast has zero chemistry. The men are either bumbling or incompetent or evil, but at least likable. The women are strong, smart, brave, but irritating. I don't mind cheesy or low-budget prosthetic makeup and special effects if the script is fun, campy and intriguing - this show is none of those things. Episode 1 will be my last.
