Romulus
Nauseating and cringy
I had high expectations about this show since reviews are glowing, but it's really weak.
I liked main actors too, they are alright. Plot through 5 episodes I watched is nothing special, kinda cliche, but not worst too.
But let me tell you about how awful production on this.
1) Stylistically it's really laughably corny at times, with hacker aestetic from late 90s early 00s which feels just lazy and outdated even for 2014, let alone for 2022. It's really hasn't aged very well.
2) Action scenes are funny, it's like worst of CW shows (Arrow, Flash etc). Lack of creativity and cringy editing.
3) Overall editing is atrocious, camera always jumps, even in casual scenes. There was a classic scene with work get together at a bar. And they filmed convo at the table with jump cuts on every line said.
Editing was a breaking straw for me and I dropped it on ep.5
