Well, they filmed parts of it at SFU (my university of study), which particularly vexed me because i was not allowed to walk on certain parts of the campus due to filming. I figured that if I pay for my tuition, i should be given the right to walk wherever I shall damned like.
Maybe that is keeping me from warming up to it. But all the advertising has been pushing the show so heavily so it was so disappointing to see it to be so horrible. I like Douglas Coupland; I haven't read Gum thief, but i have most of his library and have seen some of his art work in person and I find it fascinating.
I mean the show has lots of little bits of Coupland in it. when they are changing scenes, there is the type of still art like graphics you would expect from him. I enjoyed that aspect of it, because i like his jilted art style. But unfortunately, I find that to be the most creative part of the show.
It not only forces romantic couplings in the show of Ethan and Kaitlin in such an uncomfortable way, but is heavily hinting towards a relationship between John Doe and Bree.
And what is with all the racial stereotypes?? I'm chinese, but hell, my parents didn't wish i was a boy to the point that Bree's parents exagerate it! And the british lady? ppphhhhttt
