Let´s get one thing out of the way, the series is way overestimated. Does that mean it cant be entertaining? Of course not. First off all it reminds me of Suicide Squad, but in series format and with a better story. It goes for the style over substance formula, with the quippy music and the slow camera. It has a good direction and a nice photography, and it tries to be "the crazy kid in the bunch" but it never really knows how to achieve that, so it relies on stereotypical and generic ways of reaching out to the audience. One major issue, is the fact that it doesnt know who the targeted audience is. It presents itself as a series with adult or mature themes and premise, but it doesnt quite know how to deliver these without being childish and a bit outdated. It is like a grown up show, developted by kids. It rhymes with the shows premise, if we the audience are like the umbrella teens and the show itself is the condescending scientist/father figure. Another problem is the dialogue. The characters just dont seem to be able to speak normally, without blurping exposition in meaningfull ways. The casting itself is a bit weak, but that is just me. The characters are all presented in a stereotypical faction, but we have already seen these types in other movies, but better written and with more depth. For a show about mystery, it is really afraid that the audience isnt following, and it constantly holds your hand all the way through, wich is strange because the story, really isnt hard to follow. It´s like we cant fathom the awesomness of the shows tribulations, so they re-explain everything and make characters say and do things to this effect. The series has a lot of potential but the execution is just laking.
