I kept going back and forth between giving this a one and a three. Without a doubt I hated it and never want to see it again. I choked my way through 4 episodes and I skimmed the rest of season 1 to see if maybe there was some big payoff that I just didn't have the stomach for, but no dice.
So first, the good things--the camera work is top notch. The score wasn't memorable to me, so even if nothing stood out that means nothing was so garbage that it comes to mind. The acting was consistent among the actors, so it was technically good in the sense that it just have been what the director was going for. And finally, it is certainly one of a kind.
But a volleyball made from frozen vomit studded with house flies carved out of diamonds is also one of a kind. The save questions apply to both--
who was this made for?
Why would anyone want this sort of thing?
I get that this is meant to be some sort of satire and a commentary on... something... but it's simultaneously lacking in subtlety and unclear in what it's trying to say.
With something like the Stepford Wives, you've got an entry point into the world through the perspective of a character you like and can relate to. With 3 D's, everyone sucks and nothing is funny or clever enough to make it worth deliberately spending time in their world.
