It has potential. I'd say it is similar to an extent to any YA fantasy or sci-fi drama ei Motherland : Fort Salem type show. Too much narration like "You" or "Daybreak" which are both Netflix originals.
People here are so dumb tho, they think "Netflix" is actually making the show.. Netflix greenlights and maybe purchases the rights, but as a company has very little to do with the actual stories or scripts.. and I'm sure didn't have much to do with the actual production of the series.. a lot of times in these instances, the show is already produced and shot and Netflix is just the distributor. So to blame Netflix is completely ridiculous.
The show could use better dialogue at times and the fight scenes seem too choreographed. I get bored with the teenage angst and some of the drawn out life lesson dialogue.. more action and shooting or do a better job of building this world and developing the characters.
Ava tho is a total jerk. Given a second chance at life and can walk after being bed ridden majority of her life and just acts a complete a** when blessed with a second chance out side of a few moments of humility. The nuns should just take the Halo out of her back if she refuses to follow the plan or be on board with their ideology. That simple. Because of that fact and the CW feel of rhe show that should be a tid bit grittier in nature, I have to give the show a 6. Ava goes on saying she didn't ask for any of this over and over again, but at the end of the day, the Halo is a part of the OCS, so If she is just gonna be an a**hole the first 6 episodes, then just take the Halo from here and end it all. Problem solved.
Edit: Horrible wigs on Ava in flashback scenes lol and you can tell the show was shot out of sequence. Shotgun Mary's hair/ braids looks rough and frizzy in first few episodes and then perfectly freshly braided in the 5th/6th episode lol kinda ruins continuity a little for me. Production/ hair and make up matter, braids like that do take a long time to have to redo and hard to keep fresh looking after a lot of sweating over days time, but then you have to keep that in mind when filming.
The CGI is pretty decent for the kind of show it is.
I like inclusiveness and diversity and love some of the messages they want to make.. but the execution was bad. For instance, woman are strong and don't need men to be White Knights saving them, right? But LITERALLY she was yelling help while drowning in a pool she jumped in, instead of swimming at the beach she was just at of course, so JC jumped in a saved her (by the way, why didn't the Halo just glow and levitate her out the water or help her swim like it helps her fight at times?) and then the shower scene, she yelled like she was being attacked, so of course JC came running in, but then after when they're eating breakfast, she's like "I don't need you to keep rescuing me, I can slay my own dragons" which is over the top, out of no where and he only has rescued her when she was about to die or screaming like she was about to die lol
