Devs (2020)
Mixed bag
I felt compelled to create an account just to write this review. Over all I've really enjoyed the show and the premises. Some of the visuals are stunning and paired with an ominous sound track that keeps you wanting more. However the lead actress is my only major complaint. She truly is terrible for the part. I don't like coming off as mean but it really does ruin what could have been a great series. The lack of emotion or acting on her part really drives the show down and doesn't allow you to get emotionally invested. Everyone else from small roles such as the doorway bum to the devs employees are fantastic. I've seen shows such as wayward pines switch lead actors/actresses with the new season and that is something they definitely should consider with this series for future seasons.
Super-Fan Builds (2016)
Fun show with potential
The show really doesn't find its pace until about the 3rd episode and improves from there. It feels as if they are trying different approaches to see what sticks and works. Unlike many other build shows, this show leaves out the drama of the build, for instance issues that arise or deadlines almost missed. This is a usual tactic used by "build" shows and it's actually quite nice to leave it out as we all know much of it is staged. However a little more detail on the build would be nice. Another thing they could improve on is showing the super fan using the prop more extensively. Overall good premise and it has a lot of potential but needs more polish. Perfect for a campy time waster type show.
