Bedlam S01E01 HDTV XviD-BiA

before bedlam aired i had read nothing but positive things about it many times so i was
lulled into
believing all the positive hype. the bedlam i watched however couldn't have failed to meet that hype
more profoundly. it was a completely epic failure in every possible way it could have been a failure.

firstly the acting was terrible, will young spent the entire episode with a variety of strange facial
expressions that i would expect to see on someone who is having their testicles tightly squeezed. i am
not sure of the logic in making him out as an irresistible to females piece of man candy either because
will young is not a good enough actor to act like he likes women. the rest of the cast were equally as
dire.

the biggest problem i had with this mess of a show was how over the top it was. when i watch a ghost
story i expect it be subtle. any good ghost or haunted story will at least try to build up tension
first.
having an abundance of colour, lots of green water running down walls and up plug holes, ghosts
appearing as bold as brass and multiple chaotic cut aways to people being drowned in baths deeper
than an olympic swimming pool used by divers before the cast has been properly introduced to the
audience is not the way to deliver on the premise.

whistle & i will come to you is how ghost stories should be modelled, bedlam is set up more like a bad
halloween episode of hollyoaks than a credible ghost story. as always i have to give sky living credit
for trying to produce something original but unfortunately what they have presented borders on
horrific.
