Red Rooms

Hackneyed, uber-melodramatic, and filmed with a piece of red cellophane over the lens for at least the first episode, this series makes you ask the existential question: "is there ANYTHING so awful that some streaming service, somewhere won't offer it?". The first 15 minutes are used as a time filler, as each of the five characters are asked the same question in the same way by the same unseen emcee. All could have been asked simultaneously, but then the writers would have had to come up with 14 additional minutes of material. Repetitive to the point of torture and imbued with a heavy-handed sense of unearned importance, I wish the writers had expended at least a quarter of the effort in the show as they did in their bogus reviews. If I had used the phrase 'I wish I could have given it less than a one star', in my review, I would have still been twice as original as this slop.
