David Lamoreaux

It is an intense, surrealistic series that grabs your attention and doesn't let go. Some reviewers complain of plot holes, like the movie is a real life drama and should all make sense. Almost nothing in this movie makes real world sense, yet it still keeps you trying to figure out what the hell is going on because it's dark, and desperate and full of nightmare imagery. And that's the fun of it. I expected campy, and instead got a dizzying ride down the rabbit hole. I couldn't help but feel, as I watched it, that I was standing on some midnight street in some shadowy part of Los Angeles, with a strange mixture of drugs and dreams swimming in my head. All the characters are wonderfully unique and interesting, even the most mundane roles, and the dialogue is part cohesive and part blandly disjointed so that it keeps you guessing about motives, morals, and emotions. There are some definite shades of the cult classic Videodrome in it's refusal to just let the viewer get comfortable.
