It was just plain rubbish! There was something missing from it, it had the sureness I usually like, some talented actors, it looked very realistic, but I just didn't like it! It is naturally going to be compared to The Day Today, which was far superior. I guess that worked by taking news programmes, and multiplying their existing elements by 100, instead of just using the same format as a regular news broadcast, but adding strange stories. TDT also had those fantastic names, and the complete lunacy of the finance news. Just go and buy The Day Today DVD, it's a great set with brilliant extras. I can't see any signs of this show improving on it in any way, which is a shame, as it looked really good in the trailers. But I guess the clips shown there were just the best of a bad bunch. I wanted to like this, but shall probably never watch it again.

It's so bad it actually becomes must-see stuff

Nothing can prepare you for how truly rubbish this film is. Rubbish actors, rubbish script, rubbish camerawork. But it is because of this that you simply must see it. From the way some actors make random noises instead that have to purpose, to the ending that seems to contradict everything in the film, this film is a work of terrible genius. My favourite scene? When the girl is repeatedly stabbed in the bathroom, and yet the knife remains somehow clean, and she is still standing after getting a good 30+ holes in the chest. Oh, and the blood looks like it's being squirted from a tomato sauce bottle. In fact, it probably is tomato sauce. Just watch the film and laugh. Laugh hard.
