“A truly missed opportunity, dealing with an interesting topic of a band of idealists, visionaries, hippies, in what is basically a cult-like setting, the show never develops into a coherent narrative that reveals much of interest. It kind of weaves, bends and meanders all over the place and, in the end, the viewer is left wondering about their individual motivation, why exactly they have failed, the dynamics of their relationships, the crux of the outcome or anything really besides the most superficial. A truly missed opportunity.”
