Someone did a very bad thing...

Season 1 was nothing game changing....but it was okay enough as a stand alone series. II should have left well enough, but no. Between the final episode of "Paint With Love" and the premiere of "The Tuxedo" (I have a subscription to GagaOOlala) I had nothing to do one day so I decided to give it a shot. Why didn't I just ignore this, I wonder. The premise of each story (almost) is interesting enough - Valen is emotionally stunted and clumsy in love, and Kaitoon is oblivious to everyone who's interested in him. Okay fine. There's a lot that could be done there. Let's throw would be Dr. Non into the mix just to show how absent Kaitoon is. To call Non an underdeveloped character would be the understatement of the year. He's little more than a prop for Kaitoon to lean on whenever life roughs him up. There. That's Non's whole story. Then there's Pete (sometimes spelt "Peat" in the subtitles) and King. Not wanting to spoiler it, it's a pretty good premise - a lot to mine there but...the story just swirls and swirls like a dog trying to catch its own tail and getting nowhere. Then there's the lesbian triangle between June, Bill and Sonya. There. That's the whole story right there.

Lazy, sloppy writing and half-assed performances. This is just one big nothing-burger. Finally I have to mention the music. I love Jeff Satur and his music, but boy...what is this tragic and sleepy soundtrack about? Was he trying to put the audience into a coma? He makes a guest appearance as an actor and that does not provide any absolution. Ugh. At least I can look forward to him in "KinnPorsche". What a waste this entire enterprise was. Miss.
