My rating: 3/10

Will I watch it again? Ugh.

Oh, boy.  I wanted to shut this one off but I persevered. I dig the concept, I can appreciate the attempt and it's got lots of actors I enjoy but it's just so...irritating?  I think that's it.  It didn't sit well with me and  after the first fifteen minutes I wanted off this ride.  Maybe it's because it reminded me of American sitcoms, the ones with the phony laugh tracks.  I loathe most of them.  They get on my nerves.  That's what MtH did to me.  I don't like to bash something like that because I know they were trying for something different but for me it touched a nerve that I couldn't recover from.  It bored the piss out of me.
