Fans of Smallville may recognise the outside of the Queen family home. It was the same building used as the Luthor mansion in Smallville.
I absolutely loved the book when I read it a few years ago and I have been really pleased that they have truly done it justice with this adaption - it is definitely one of the best shows I have seen this year.
My only disappointment was that we never once saw Elizabeth, Calvin or Mad showing much affection towards Six Thirty. He was such an important character in the book and such an important member of the family. I just wish we got more of an indication of how much they loved him. The dog POV episode actually worked better than I thought it would but it always felt it was an aspect of the book that could have been easily excised. It was just sad that he was then pretty much ignored for the rest of the epsiodes.
It's impressive that they made a show without a single likeable character. I want to punch all of them. These guys are idiots but not even in the cool, funny sense.
Love the opening music. Regina Spector is awesome.
While the premise of "a guy on a stage reads out the comments posted on YouTube music videos" does not sound even remotely entertaining, do not be put off.
This is one of the funniest things I have watched in ages. Better still it gets funnier with repeated viewings!
MY CONDELENC!
Just. Watch. It. (Trust Me)
Perfectly cast. Perfectly acted. A slow burner with enough twists and turns to keep you enthralled till the final episode. I can't wait for season 2.
