The Glade 4.0

Ugh. Don't bother.

Too late, watched the whole thing over the weekend. Interesting idea, horribly written.

" Presenting the whole season at once seemed like an invitation to a bacchanalia of total absorption in fantasy, horror, gore; the promise of Hemlock Grove was that it would be somehow impressively out-there and give you too much of everything. Unfortunately, watching the whole thing was less like some kind of insane, bloody feast of oohs and aahs and surprises, and more like eating $28 of McDonald’s in your car late at night. The good parts, the crunchy fries and first pristine bites of the first Big Mac, were forgotten after what amounted to too many greasy pickles. "

I've watched a couple episodes, there were some good scenes (the first transformation was pretty nice) but overall there's just nothing special there. I still kind of want to support it, if only because I want Netflix to give a better director their own uncensored horror show on their service. I don't want Hemlock Grove's suckitude to make Netflix think there's not a market for original horror. Can you imagine if they gave David Lynch his own twin-peaksian show with the reigns off and no crappy network involvement (like their original ruining of Twin Peaks)? Yes please.

Even I, who usually likes everything...was frustrated with this series. Some decent stuff, I think a good attempt? But, the flow just really messed me up. It's like I keep plopping down right into the middle of something even though I've watched every scene of every episode so far. I was disappointed and only made it through 6 episodes.

Yea, I am pretty easy to please. This was just...so poorly done.
