The Dead Lands (2020– )
3/10
Welcome to the Jungle

Warning: Spoilers
This series is painful to watch it makes your eyes bleed.

The dialogue consists mostly of one syllable words and swearwords, followed by a succession of grunts, onks, and hoots. The fighting chereography if you can call it that has been fully prepared, it's not fluid. Somebody spins a spear grunting and waits for somebody else to spin a cudgel hooting, me smash, no, smash better, kill you, suddenly there's the gore. The gore has been overly expressed giving credence to the very bad choreography. The camerawok sets itself into a moody colouring scheme of 300 or something. This is Sparta. Except they have no other reason or rationality. They're cannibals.

The show has given us the primate, and these people are neanderthals. The lore is seemingly some other worship of rocks, trees, and mudhuts. As the dead they have no other empathy for, just their primative nature.

Avoid. Consider a B no make that a Z budget of Apocalypto.
