Spides

Don't waste you time watching this. Poor set pieces, crappy CGI, silly dialogs.

SyFy, please stop wasting money producing crap like this. Better give it to the poor.

Spides: A new drug, Blis, appears on the night club scene in Berlin. Great stuff but has troubling side effects, people go into comas, disappear, seem different afterwards. There are aliens involved, Arachnids, drug dealers, detectives, but the police leadership seems to have been subverted. The narrative moves through much of the seedier side of Berlin, abandoned factories, railway cars. But it also touches on High Tech medical research institutes. Some savage gun fights, stabbings well imagined aliens. There may be a bit too much going on though. Still it's well worth watching. Showrunner/Co-Director/Co-Writer is Rainer Matsutani. On SyFy. 7/10.

I've watched the first episode and in fairness there was a pleasantly surreal storyline, a few unpleasant surprises and a few good twists and turns, all good romping fun.

The acting was a fairly level playing field, no-one stood out but no-one was less than professional.

I enjoyed the visuals, actors and story enough to keep me engaged all the way through the episode.

I only watched this programme due to the extreme opposites in terms of reviews and what I feel is an unwarranted rating of 5. thoroughly enjoyed first ep. and cant wait for episode 2 :D

Considering SYFY's usual media content the first episode of this series isn't as bad as the previous reviewers are commenting. The first episode is promising.. I will most definitely watch again.

I started watching this program and thought it would be boring. I was wrong and I was fixed. Just hope they are doing series two.
