Review

a really good one and done series. it takes a few shows to find its feet which isn’t unusual, but the writing is consistently good and on point. never did like the final episode much. not sure if they knew whether or not they would get picked up for more seasons. perhaps if they knew it would be over they would have wrapped things up more. i liked the merging of the two groups with the james franco character playing d&d in the end. of course the unoriginal music they chose is great. also liked the many movie references of the time. didn’t like the original music much, though. a bit cheesy and sitcom-ish for my taste.

casting was great and the actors nailed it in pretty much every instance. lots of success came to them afterwards, too.
