This show surprised me. It's from Ridley Scott, one of my favorite directors. It's from HBO, the network of GoT and WW. With those elements I had expectations. I was disappointed. It reminds me of a '70s sci fi B movie. From the look, to the special effects, to the sets, to the costumes to the acting. Ridley Scott movies tend to have a certain look. This doesn't have that. HBO series tend to have a certain production standard. This doesn't have that. I have to think this was intentional. It's this way to set the mood of a dreary future. If that was the goal, they succeeded.
