Review of Beyond

Beyond (I) (2016–2018)
2/10
Painfully boring
31 January 2017
A couple of promising young actors -- Whitesell and Duffield -- are lost in a throng of TV-grade actors in a mire of rehearsed deliveries and forced boredom. Why are TV directors still allowing young women actors to get away with forced boredom with a nasal delivery? It's bratty and amateurish, and went out with "OH MA GAWD!" I feel bad for Martin Donovan in this role. The sci-fi angle is cheesy and worn out. He has done immense dramatic work in the past, but the script is so poorly written he can't "bring his stuff." What a waste and a shame.

The effect of this program is overall so weak and will grow old fast without any camp or nostalgic value. The writing and/or directing are mostly to blame. This program is frozen nonfat vanilla ice milk, with sugar-free artificially-flavored vanilla sauce, served in a disposable bowl.
