Episode three of the LXD is now viewable on Hulu, prominently featuring popper Madd Chadd.
Thoughts: Definitely a step in the right direction: much less dialogue in this one, which allowed the dancers to tell the story through their movement even more so than the first two episodes. The comic book ‘speech’ was an alright touch, but honestly I don’t think it’s necessary. The scenarios of each episode are recognizable enough that I’d be happy if the narration (verbal or otherwise) was dropped altogether, and the dancers were allowed to communicate more purely through their art with the viewers.
Yeah…I felt too that they did a better job on episode 3 than the previous episodes. This style gave it a comic book feel that you either take it seriously or joking…many personal preference to the audience, which in my opinion is dope. I will definitely be keeping a thumb down on this for a while.
