Thurston (2011– ) User Reviews

Lacks appealing characters

[drjgardner · 5/10 · 30 November 2017]

This series has a lot to recommend it, including the theme which is not normally addressed. I also like that there are no well known actors, so someone's future is not determined by their star power. But I watched the first 6 episodes and couldn't find any characters that appealed to me. In addition, I really noticed only one recurring character, who is a minor one in most of the episodes. I like to root for or against characters, and on occasion I like to imagine how I would do in any given situation. In this series I haven't been able to do it. Perhaps I should keep viewing more episodes, but I think 6 is sufficient.

Middle School Stage Production

A Amazon Executive with a large extended family has a 10 year old with a dream to be a writer and a screenplay she wrote for a school project. Imagine what happens when the producer deploys his family complete with, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews to act out the screen play using a half dozens iphones and Pinnacle software calling it Thurston and putting the finished project on Amazon Prime for consumption. It is indigestible but may have commercial value as Video Sominex.
