Before I start I should say that if you're expecting something similar to Torchwood/Doctor Who then this isn't the show for you. But on the other hand if you want to watch a shitty sci-fi Waterloo road then yes mate go for it. Now don't get me wrong, the acting is half decent, especially from Fady, but holy crap the acting as well as the special effects and prosthetic makeup are as good as it gets. Let's start it off with the writing which was atrocious, even cringeworthy at some points. For example, Ram's girlfriend just got killed. Now this isn't a stranger in one of the opening scenes of Doctor who where we as an audience aren't supposed to feel empathy for anyone killed - this is a student - an 17/18 year old, and it's just brushed underneath the carpet. Sure Ram grieves a bit but the others are just patting him on the back and saying it's OK? What the hell is that? And then a couple days later he's professing his love for another character! And don't get me started on that flipping weird alien sex scene with the shadow kin or whatever. If it was supposed to make us laugh... The characters - as previously mentioned, the acting isn't that bad, but damn the characters were written terribly. These aren't British teenagers - these are American teenage stereotypes and I sure as hell cant relate to them. The alien teacher/freedom fighter who isn't really a teacher (I can't remember her name) is supposed to be the Jack Harkness of this show, but just ends up being flipping annoying and she reminds me of that creepy lady of the Midnight episode in Doctor Who. What worked for Torchwood/Doctor who/Sarah Jane is that those characters had a sense of security around them, and that they were extremely likable - this lady sure as hell isn't likable. Now I can't go on about how this show is just a massive facepalm to me, and I'm pretty sure that I'm the target market (18 year old British teenager), but if you'd watch it you'll understand, but as I said at the beginning - this really isn't anything like Doctor Who.
