Ofmd is..not at all what i was expecting
Why did not a single one of you tell me that they were vaguely given pirate characters and told to improv about it and that most of them are bad at improv but really trying their hardest
Maybe i shouldve guessed but i was expecting like.. a show. Like a real show with written scripts not this (kind of awkward) bumbling around a scene for longer than is needed until the directors decide to spare us and show a different bumbling scene
Props to queer eye for the pirate guy who is trying his damn hardest, theres a lad who knows when to chomp on that bit but watching this show overall feels like a trainwreck. Like im still gonna watch if you get just the right amount of high and accept that this is an ongoing theatre improv scenario not a television or streaming style show then you can still have a good time i think, embrace the cringe and whatnot and i know you tumblr hoes love it so ill stick it through to the end but can someone please at least tell me that good omens is like.. a show with a script? When i get to it ive heard such good things and if its just more college improv id like to maybe skip it please i think ofmd is enough improv for me
#personal#ofmd#good omens#the secondhand emotional impact from good omens makes me highly doubt its as improvy as ofmd#tbf all i knew about ofmd is that it was a gay pirate show but i still thought it was. a show. a scripted show and i was WRONG#i guess technically it is a show about gay pirates i just really thought there would be more written than that basic concept#heads up i guess for anyone else unfamiliar it can be fun but jts also highly cringe. and thats ok but you gotta be expecting that#or i can see how it can easily lead to being disappointing and unfunny if like me you only know its praises as the gay pirate show#ok i have some further thoughts. taika was goin thru it holy fuck but so was everyone#they do get a little.better at both comedy and editing but oh boy theres still some moments#still a lot of moments#overall rating 8/10 too much improv and the plot. they couldve dont it in a lot cooler ways that would be more coherrent but#some scenes randomly hit hard if you pay super hard attention to each characters side plots but dont do that too hard cause#youll lose track quicker than scene directors did#sometimes feels a little forced encouragement and we do love encouragement so we never take points away for trying
