What were they smoking?
I don’t know what they were smoking but must’ve been good for them to come up with this. The main characters seem like they’re pretty well known and for them to be in this show, they were smoking something good, too.
I’ll get to the main story later but this show is mainly about watching two nutty and not so bright women acting crazy. They spend a lot of their screen time sneaking into places and hiding. They’re always in danger of being found out but they somehow get away and it’s mainly because of dumb luck. You get to see them standing around with their mouths open in shock. Like every other scene shows their dumbstruck faces at something or someone. After staring at their open mouths for about 5-7 seconds, the show finally let you see what got them so spooked. Sometimes they’re pretty funny but mostly absurd. Completely unrealistic behaviors do get repetitive after awhile. It’s hard to root for them when they act like such idiots. However, I do have to give them major credit for committing all the way. Professionalism at its finest.
So the main storyline started out as your typical alien abduction stuff and it followed. that formula pretty well. There’re flashbacks, bright lights, levitation and little green dudes. You see the main character collecting old articles about UFOs and missing people, etc. It’s strongly implied that the main character came into contact with aliens in the past. She runs into her middle school friend while looking for her lost (ex)boyfriend and the absurdities start. Then, after a couple of episodes, you kinda lose sight of the plot watching two women doing crazy stuff and next thing you know, it’s become a show about a cult. Huh? But then, hey, why not?
The side characters, especially, Bora’s friends are atrociously stupid and useless. They’re cartoon characters and it’s infuriating to watch them doing their things. The worst of them all is the skinny dude with long hair. You know which one and why. The muscle man isn’t much better but at least he knows how to drive. Speaking of, what are the chances of only one person being able to drive in a group of 5-6 adults? Is this for real?
I must say, this was one of the most frustrating shows I’ve ever seen but also one of the most interesting. I see some reviewers calling this show “misunderstood”. Maybe. But otherworldly absurd behaviors propelling the story forward isn’t good.
I see three huge faults of this show. First is that the main character isn’t smart enough to navigate the complex world of cult and go up against a cult leader. Second is that the writer also isn’t smart enough to keep up with all plot holes and inconsistencies. Third is the main character gets less and less likable as the show goes on because they pushed her stupidity and craziness to such an extreme.
