The Shore (2020) Episode 1: The Agony

Episode 1: The Agony was an interesting pilot episode for The Shore. The plot/storyline was intriguing enough. Screenplay had cringy lines and long monologues. There were also glaring English grammatical errors. I don't usually mind these errors but there were just too many of them on this pilot episode. While generally tolerable, John David needs to improve his acting which I don't know if it's even possible since location shootings are over. He overacted on some scenes and his tears didn't look natural. He's a newbie so it's quite understandable. The depiction of most of the supporting characters at the resort, including the receptionist portrayed by toxic Buknoy, were caricaturish. Audio-visuals were largely uneven. There were abrupt noises here and there that were distracting. Although there were good camera shots that captured the tranquility of the shore, visual effects especially those that pertained to the typhoon were amateurish. Overall, even with its shortcomings, I hope this series keep me engaged on the succeeding episodes.
