I stumbled into a discussion over on Reddit about this pilot Tuesday, and even though the trailer reveals every detail about the pilot I somehow decided I should still watch it.
I don't know why people think including every moment into a trailer is a good idea, it doesn't generally make viewers want to see something more. Especially when it's this bad.
Walter and his team of super geniuses are contacted by the government because LAX has lost the ability to communicate with their flights, possibly causing thousands of deaths. They then carry out several crackpot ideas that somehow end up with a car and airplane connected by an ethernet cable.
This plot is like gas station nachos: cheesy and leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth afterwards. You know you'll return a week later anyways. The plot is so ridiculously bad it makes me want to see the rest of it just for shits and giggles.
The trailer also boasts that this is based on real events. Well, the supposed "real" Walter made an AMA on Reddit about two weeks ago, it went about as well as expected. The internet is pretty mean when they think something is fake.
I think I'll watch a few more episodes to satisfy my curiosity for bad entertainment.
4/10 for having a mildly entertaining opening scene.
