Death Squad

The title says it all, really.

I didn't want to pull my hair out in rage, like some of the reviewers, but then, I'm not as wedded to the genre as perhaps some of the others are, so there's no rage from me. Haha!

It was decent enough and had (just about) enough highlights to keep me watching through to the end. That said, it WAS too long. Either the show should have been like 10 episodes, or each episode should have been half as long, bc I DID find that sometimes it was an effort to persevere to the end of a 45 min episode. Breaking it down a little more, might have helped.

Not terrible. A LOT more then 'meh', but definitely less than 'great'!

The show was messy but It had a good story line, that's why I kept watching. I wanted to know if the people would get out and if they do what would happen next? But when it comes to the acting, the acting was mediocre nothing to the actors but I just felt like I was watching a bad Telenovela, but not. I really feel that they could have added some real scientific / Medical terminology within the show and I felt like they needed Somebody that was just a medic or medical personnel within the death squad someone who specialized an understanding the medical field. It just there was something that didn't sit right with me when it came to the show but I watched it all the way through and I wouldn't mind if they did try for a second season.

I happened to catch some of it after starting my yearly rewatch of Nikita on Seed. Even without sound I could tell it was terrible. But the second I unmuted the stream it became abundantly that this show is terrible. The dialogue is horribly stilted and wordy. The acting is comically bad. The show is shot like a sitcom with some weird edm/rock music in the background to try to raise tension. I caught snippets of episode 9 and a conversation about a ventilation shaft that was apparently supposed to be tense and dramatic but had zero actual tension. The camera crews don't understand the importance of movement in camera shots to create tension, the cuts are not quick, everything is a still shot, the dialogue is banal and horribly delivered with zero emphasis, and any emphasis is put in is in the exact wrong spot. Easily the worst television show I have ever watched. Mystery Science Theatre would have field day with one scene.

The acting is crude and unrefined, the show seems more like a comedy then an actual horror show. The actors look like they're barely able to speak any English and forget the lines often. The only two I actually was somewhat okay with was Thompson and Brooks. Everyone else did a terrible job and I'm not quite sure why the CW would ever date put something this terrible on their line up even if it's on the seed. I tried my hardest to watch this joke called a tv show but it was far too unbearable and just plain out corny. I'm ex military and the barely even had anything legit when they were talking (meaning lingo and even tactical approach when dealing with unknown enemies in unknown/foreign grounds). It was just bland and I feel they didn't really try when they made this. I'm not even sure this can make it in Bollywood which is sad. I'd give this negative stars if I could, but I'll give it a 1 due to them at least trying. It was a failed attempt at a zombie tv show, heavily inaccurate, and the acting was horrific.

I tried to like this as I do enjoy B horror, this was more like D horror. This was supposed to be an "American" series, however it id painfully odvious it is not. It is funny how other countries see US policy and military function (I am looking at you Uwe Boll).

Avoid this unless you are REALLY drunk or under the influence of other "herbs" or both.

The acting is jilted, the story is superficial, save the time you will not get back if you watch this.

On a side note the spooks name was "Sambuco" that was about the funniest part Save your time, save yourself avoid this series at all cost!

5 more characters...lol.
