The first two episodes are now viewable on Hulu, what does everyone think?
Episode one includes Luigi, Venum, Milky, and Cloud:
Episode two focuses on tricking:
My brief thoughts: The writing is cheesy and the tone is awkwardly serious. I wish either the writing had more ‘weight’ or the direction had been more tongue-in-cheek. Basically, if you’re going to take yourself seriously then you need to write heavier material that supports that tone choice. And if you’re going to go over-the-top, really go for it and have fun with it, and let the audience in on the joke too. The first two LXD episodes seem to occupy a middle ground, and the weirdly earnest tone stopped me from fully engaging with the series.
That being said, the dancing and choreography is amazing, the series is well-produced and well-shot, and the dancers are the stars (for better or worse). The series is fun, and even though it doesn’t seem like the ‘revolution’ it was hyped up to be, I’ll still be watching future episodes.
