Back to the mindless script writing of series 1.

The acting was terrible and nobody sounded convincing in their new
characters.

That was part of the point. Adam had given Owen a new character, but could not make it "real" because it wasn't.

Worst of all was Cockyboy. The story became boring 5 minutes in
when you figured it all out because it was stretched out by 25 minutes
longer than it needed to so that Gayviws could include an idiotic storyline
for Closetgay which served no purpose whatsoever except to deliberately
shock the programme's viewers with unnecessary scenes of women being raped
and murdered.

The purpose was to make it clear that Adam could really do bad stuff if crossed.

The woman playing Jack's mother sounded Welsh eventhough he's
supposed to sound American and was totally unconvincing.

Because in the Bochaine Peninsula in the 51st Century accents are still defined by 21st Century Earth standards

The boy playing
Jack had the wrong hair colour and it was almost as if the director decided
to switch the roles with his brother who did have the correct hair colour.

And hair never changes colour as we get older.


This is the worst episode of series 2 so far.

4/10

These are tiny nit-picks. Dear God Agamemnon, if your enjoyment of the show was marred by irregularities of hair colour and accent you would have absolutely hated Greek drama with its use of wholly unrealistic masks and men playing the parts of women and getting the voices allwrong.
