Wow. I can kind of understand how a total stinker of a movie gets made... Not that fun B movie, the total schlock waste of time... An enthusiastic but talentless amateur either fronts their own money or coaxes mom and dad and a few friends to front the money, and you get one of those Written-Directed-Produced (and sometimes even Acted) by one poor schmo, and everybody loses their shirt, and we all either run screaming or have a good laugh at its expense. But how does an entire TV series get made with this level of lameness in writing, direction, acting, everything? This show has absolutely nothing to recommend it. I watched the entire first episode, to see if it ever had a special moment. It didn't. Won't waste time on anymore episodes.
About the only thing that was so bad it was funny (enough to evoke actual laughter) was the music. Or perhaps it was really the direction and editing. I wonder if the music might have been okay if the dramatic moments in the music were actually matched by dramatic moments in the show, but inevitably the director and/or editor would queue up these dramatic flourishes in the music with utterly banal moments in the show. The meeting is over, cut to wide shot of the group... BOMMMM. The group of bad actors, excuse me, mercenaries turn a corner... DUNN, DUNN, DUNN. These unintentionally funny musical moments became the highlight of the show for me.
If they'd played it for intentional laughs, they might have had something. But that would have a taken a level of intelligence that was sorely lacking in the production of this series. Yow, this was bad.
