I encountered this issue with Nat Geo’s Valley of the Boom. That had interviews, dramatization, a dance sequence number - all in the first episode.

If this is a new trend of storytelling, I hate it.
Finally got to the Vegas episode. If you haven't seen it already, you're going to hate it. I thought it was pretty awesome, I'm still surprised this is a SyFy show, it would have a much bigger audience/following on Netflix.

I realize nobody else is watching here, but man that was some blood soaked finale.

I'm 3 weeks behind, but I'll definitely be watching the final episodes

Haven't watched the finale yet, but I did watch the penultimate episode last night. I liked the nods to The Adolescents, including the dedication of the episode to the recently passed Steve Soto.
But let's be realistic about the best part of the episode. Lana Condor......underwear....

Had a quick binge of this (lots of fast forwarding). I believe it's been cancelled

If the whole series was like the last episode, i would have missed it, but as it stands, no great loss

The cast wasn't bad, but the producers made a lot of risky creative decisions that didn't pay off.

It's a shame this series got cancelled before it even got to it's big series-defining moment!

After the cancellation there was talk of shopping it to another network. Haven't heard more about that, but I hope it happens

Remender said it was dead. Lemme find the tweet.


PhantomStranger, I'm curious what you thought their missteps were, because I thought it was a great adaptation, personally. In some ways, rereading the comic right after, the show was a lot better.

Then some other show needs to cast Lana Condor as a series regular. Immediately.

(I never cared for the tattoos anyway, even though they were a requirement for her character)

I have no familiarity with the comic source, so I took the show as it was aired. I didn't buy a lot of the 80s trappings in the production. The writers clearly wanted to write a show for today and the period setting held the show back, if anything.
