Re-Dirt
Big budget, high production, talented cast, costumes, extras and all the you'd need to build an epic. But in the end, with all this money at their disposal, the producers got a script from the dollar store. This is case 101 of what happens when you have everything but a good script on hand. Like a pricey lambo without tires, this drama goes nowhere. I skipped and skipped trying to ignore the plot holes but kept landing on swiss cheese everywhere.
One notable hole is that the ML needed an antidote and neither him nor the FL started doing anything about it until ep 25. If the FL really loves him and owes him her life, wouldn't she try to save him from the get-go? Nope. I guess we'll have to wait until ep 25, probably because they smelled the stink from the now moldy MacGuffin across the hall. Oh, and the producers matched a 17 yo FL at the time of filming with a 29 yo ML. An artistic choice or a cynical ploy to drive publicity? As if they wanted to drive the point further, they chose an actress that can even play middle school. The petite FL is even shorter than most of the women on cast and we're supposed to see her as imposing general able to wrestle men twice their size. Okay. I guess everything goes now and we can ask Tom Holland to play the Hulk.
Too bad. All this wasted potential and another reminder that it's best to invest on a good script first. Perhaps the producers already knew they had a turd, but needed to keep the industry's gears churning at all costs. Seems like something Hollywood would do, but it seems that this slop fest is picking up steam worldwide. Somebody call the pumper truck because the septic tank is getting full.
