Overall it reminded me a little bit of Wilfred but lacking the comedic chops of Jason Gann and Elijah Wood (I originally wrote Toby McGuire because they are the same person).
Downward Dog goes for a more emotional angle than Wilfred did. The scenes where the lead character breaks down and needs the dogs affection are when the show might be at it's best. One could accuse the show of pandering to the base audience but at the moment, the show needs all the help it can get.
The reason for the low score... The writers should, like, all be fired. If your show is going to use "like" every six words... then you can save a lot of money on your writing team. Just go the nearest high school and pull someone from detention.
The writing for the male lead (at the moment) is much better than the dog or the female lead. Mostly because he never says "like", the actor is also pretty charismatic. I found myself relating to him the most. The female lead has her moments but her dialog is by and large pretty garbage butt.
I do love the evil cat though!
In summation, Fix the terrible writing and this show has a shot.

I had no idea what to expect (other than vague disappointment) when my hangover was so bad and this was the only movie I hadn't seen that was available at the time. I figured fine it will suck, but it can't be nearly as bad as the Pathfinder.
After seeing the whole film I can say with confidence this is no great gem of a movie (but still way better than the Pathfinder). It was however entertaining and at times had a Paul Verhoven feel to it with surprisingly hilarious scenes that pop out of nowhere.
All in all the film has a very 1970s-1980s graphic novel or action movie feel to it. It seems to be saying look we're going to have a really crazy plot that is just a vehicle to show some insanely violent scenes of people dying in horrid ways. Also I wanted to make a movie that combined zombie flicks, mad max movies and just for fu...x sake some medieval knights tossed in for good measure.
Lastly, this movie has a surprisingly good sound track. If you like darkwave or post punk you music should be pretty happy with the tracks they play in this film. They else fit the color and style of the film perfectly.
Is this a movie you'd want to impress a girl with? Not unless she was a goth... but it's a perfect film to watch with your nerd friends who still go and see super hero movies even when they know they'll most likely suck.
