Steampunk'd (2015)
Manufactured Drama
This show really failed in its attempt to embrace the artistic, aesthetic, and cultural elements of Steampunk. And the reason it failed was made pretty clear throughout the elimination events where caustic, hostile players were kept though a pretext of flimsy editing and even flimsier straw man logic. This show consistently booted talented and efficient players in order to retain tacky, argumentative elements. It was discouraging to watch and had an overall disheartening effect. While the early episodes presented the potential pleasure of seeing a myriad of different skills and projects, as the episodes dwindled, so did any pleasure, due entirely to the removal of all of the most pleasant contributors. What a waste of an excellent premise. This show was a terrible disappointment.
