Which I'm not sure its going for? And man is it forgettable. As in when I started to write this I had to stop and replay the song because in a few seconds I had already forgotten it. Video: 7/10. I like the old home video style that much of it has, and cutting from that to the modern day scenes was striking. Clearly the show has something to do with politics and a rich family. I found it weird that the only time we cut from the old to the current was one shot at the table where you can't really see anyone clearly except the back of the Dad's head. Like it is avoiding showing the actual cast for some reason except in the old videos. Its also kind of slow with to many random building shots imo. Maybe sky scrapers or the city this is in is important. Does it make me want to watch: 0/5. Nope, still no desire to watch this show. Maniac Factor: 0. The song and video come together to give it a creepy vibe, but I don't think this show is supposed to be tense or scary or creepy at all? Like from that opening I would say this is a mystery about the death of a young family years ago, but I'm pretty sure its about the family trying to see who gets to take their Dad's place when he dies. If I'm wrong on that and it the mood really does fit the show let me know and I'll give this a +3 for doing a very good job of getting that across. Total Score: 11 --- "Hope is allowed to be stupid, unwise, and naive." ~Sir Chris ... Copied to Clipboard! |
