• Is it just me or the audio was horrible and out of sync in many shots. I sooo want to like this but production value is not there, looks like reality TV to me. Will still give it a shot.

  • I don’t agree that it looks like reality TV. but I understand what you mean. I think that you’re used to seeing shows that are filmed in a studio, not shot on location, which gives this show a totally different look than most other shows.
    I’ve been following this show since I first heard of it through Stephens’ Twitter account earlier this year, long before it was picked up by Logo, when they only had a contract with Out TV in Canada. It’s an independently-financed venture; when it was filmed, it wasn’t backed by any big network, it was solely funded by kickstarter funds, which means that it’s not going to be as theatrical looking as most other shows.

  • I too had an issue with the audio. It was real hard for me to understand what the characters were saying at times and I found myself cranking up the volume so I could try to get what was being said.

    It was almost like they were using boom mics that were too far away from the cast members, so their dialogue was competing with the surrounding ambient noise.

• Isn’t this show already on the cw called the LA complex or something like that? With the same exact synopsis?

  • …….WTF?! No. The L.A Complex is about young adults trying to make it in the entertainment world. Its an entirely different show.

• Good for Larry Kennar….he’s a hard working guy and deserves a show on the air!

• I’m really curious how this works…so if you raise money via crowd funding for what is clearly a for-profit model, is there a specific equity distribution? I can see all this turning into such a mess if one of these things really breaks out and makes serious money. Or is it just a “gift” and if people use it to create content that makes money, oh well? Isn’t the SEC interested in all this? Genuinely interested.

• Money given to a project via Kickstarter is a donation. No equity is given in exchange for funds raised.

  Project organizers often offer rewards, like an autographed DVD, in exchange for a donation.

• i don’t understand why logo decided to have this show on the air, when their online series “hunting season” is the better show — by a lot — not even in the same league as this show!

• I think it has a very disjointed flow, as though it were an hour long show (badly) edited down to 30 minutes.
