This once gritty, slightly dark scifi story has now been reduced to a multiplayer 1st person shooter. In fact, I'm convinced that while the writers were coming up with the opening sequence something like the phrase, "... yeah, we'll make it like a video game! That's our viewer demographic!!", was said. The graphics, action, story, editing and sound were all as exciting as a cut scene from Halo 12. I found it lazy and weak. It turned me off to the show.
I can also no longer take Rachel Nichols's acting style, the insistent pause before saying anything, the constant down energy. Just no. Plus, there's no more story to tell. Most shows don't end by design, they end because the writers run out of ideas and slowly watch their show starve to death. Continuum could have easily ended in season 3 with Kiera going back home, but no, we had to invent a new bader future with new bader guys. Oh the drama, the suspense, the paychecks. Kudos for being working actors and holding onto a gig but the show is being fed fast-food with no real substance.
Nevermind me. What do I know about these things? I've never written, directed, produced or started in anything. I'm just a stupid audience member. But seriously, I bet a lot of people loved the pov game style stuff, fo real doh.
