Did anyone watch "Entitled" on Netflix?

What did you think of it?

[Ocelot II]

1. I enjoy weird, quirky humor (and some horror) but I'm not sure this was successful.

Seemed like it couldn't decide whether it wanted to be a comedy or a horror movie, so it didn't work all that well as either thing, since it was only occasionally funny and the horror was more gory than scary. There were some clever bits but I got the impression that the writers couldn't figure out how to do a conclusion - it was pretty contrived - or tie up a number of loose ends (like the vampy woman who met Xanthe at the pub toward the end. I didn't get what she was in the story for.).

2. I totally agree.

I was expecting so much more. It started out well, then seemed to lose steam. By the end I just wanted it to resolve itself and be over. I sort of got the feeling the vampy woman was introduced so there could be a second season. Just my two cents.

3. Huge disappointment

I kept waiting for it to decide whether some of the strange goings-on involved the supernatural but I was never sure, even at the last episode. There was no explanation for the blackened eyes and demon voice transitions for Quincy and the townswoman. That's either supernatural or an unreliable, often drugged, character's POV. Fundamentally, I couldn't latch on to any of the main characters, who are all mostly unsympathetic, especially Gabe, though the most sympathetic are Bart and Mrs. Whitby. There are so many quirky inventions in the plot that just never get fully realized, like Gabe's get-up near the end. The ending left me feeling they probably planned to explain things in the second season, which will probably not happen. Maybe there was a consistent, organic plan to all of this, or maybe, like Lost, they are just shotgunning the quirkiness for it's own sake.
