Mood (2022)
1/10
Good enough message, poorly executed
17 March 2022
Struggled to get through this show. The script is terrible, completely unrealistic and out of touch, I don't think any real 25 year olds actually talk and act like this. It honestly plays like a made for teens educational film about the dangers of being a 'bad girl'. Performances are terrible across the board, every character feels like an exaggerated caricature. The portrayal of sex work is confused, inaccurate and somewhat degrading.

Don't understand the need for musical performances when the music is this terrible. Just like the writing for the script the songs are horribly written and badly performed.

While I think some of the messages of the show are important and will connect with a younger audience in the same way as something like 'Skins' or 'Euphoria', two much better shows from which 'Mood' borrows heavily, the messaging feels much more hollow and vacuous.

Just a tip, you have to make your audience care about your characters, this fails completely and left me not caring at all about what happens to any of the characters.

Avoid avoid avoid.
