Featured reviews
A school play about promiscuous criminals who commit crimes and bemoan the consequences.
It's the same 'current year' approach to characters, plot, messaging, antagonists etc that you've seen in every single network show, film and book since 2015. Out of touch in the extreme and based in a pandering parody of reality, its the same fetishization of colour and class we've been forced to endure by the overlords for nearly a decade.
There are people who will pretend to like this for their own twisted reasons, but they know. You know. We all know.
Stealing is bad. Trespassing is bad. This show is bad.
Absolute toilet.

Ok this clearly was never meant to make it to air. The script is just awful, plain right awful. I've seen "adult videos" with better scripts, production, plot and acting than this.
Characters spew their dialogue and the script is so clipped it's like the actors just wait for the other character to finishing talking before saying their line. It's like a notch above a school play but with a worse script.
The script makes zero effort to endear any of the characters too you. The main bad guy has more endearing qualities than any of the protagonists - all of whom are just portrayed as narcissistic petty criminals! Who was this made for?!? Police/Rich people = bad (is all you need to know)!
The plot is the most terrible part of the whole lot. It all feels like the someone scribbled the whole thing down in a space of half an hour while consuming mind-altering substances. Seriously how did this make it to air let alone past pre-production vetting?!
It's utter cringe garbage to the point watching it is actually funny to laugh at (not with). I loved the bit with the computer hacker guy who had to hack into a drone for "reasons" in the most utterly absurd way possible. Who seriously goes on a night heist, all dressed in black but with their "face" all lit up in LEDs?! Oh and then, in the middle of the heist, decide it's time to test the newly hacked drone?
Was funny to watch but don't think I can take anymore due to concerns over it effecting my mental wellbeing. It will damage your IQ if you attempt to think about any parts of the plot, writing this review has caused me some damage.

The plot is contrived and beyond cartoonish. The aesthetics are helplessly childish. The dialogue is flat. The acting is horrible. The props prove that some people shouldn't be allowed a glue gun. The director would drag a school play down. The general outline for the plot could've worked, though. Corrupt city, evil corporation, threatened neighborhood, with a few references to the Robin Hood myth. The problem isn't the basic idea, it's the fact that it's implemented with complete incompetence and maximum cringe.
These writers don't understand the first thing about the original Robin Hood story. In that, the king was overtaxing the people to the point of starvation, so although with dubious methods, Robin had a justifiable reason to steal that money back, because it is rightfully the people's. Here the main characters are just thuggish criminals because they just want the rich white guy's stuff.
I bet you the creator of this POS read a cliff notes version and thinks that just because he robs the king he's just like them. Even when they themselves are sleeping in gated mansions with guards posted.

I can't make my mind up if it's the low budget or the story line that is the worst thing about this, but it was just unbearable. I have, and do, watch a fair few low budget B movies and I generally persist, but it's a rare thing that I give up, but I could not get through the first episode. It was just awful.
Sadly, it's one in a long line of activist style programming that puts activism before good storylines.
The acting is bad, sorry but it is. The opening scene where they fight off two police offices was just pathetic, unbelievable and the ease at which they got away was just yaaaawwwwnnnn!
I want my 30 minutes back! :(

You know I went into this with an open mind I saw some of the ratings on other websites but I figured. Hey give it a shot. I am not exaggerating when I tell you this is hands-down the worst show I've ever seen. I literally feel embarrassed for the Director. I don't know who along the way in his life led him to believe he has some talent but my guy you need to find a different career path. I mean it's really really really. REALLY BAD.
I'm not opposed to reimagined storylines, but they need to actually be good. I really hope that in the future before this Director puts out any more content, he goes back to film school. It's not fair they good people like myself and many others unwittingly volunteer to have their precious time wasted by this garbage. The only redeeming quality of the show is that it is so bad and so pathetic that I did actually find myself giggling quite a bit.
