    I was taken back at first by the soft core porn vibe the sexuality of the show has but I am not closed minded. I find nothing awful about it. The people in the show are attractive young people in LA and it makes sense that they'd be half naked. The characters have a sexually hyperactive and at times deviant lifestyle. It is what it is. I appreciate the frank nature of an American series that doesn't hide behind America's ridiculous fear of nudity and sexuality. That said I like the odd, horror, thriller series but I haven't gotten past episode 5 yet so I can't give a fully developed review in that regard to the series as a whole.

    I like Bret Easton Ellis. Big fan of Less than Zero, Rules of Attraction, Glamorama and American Psycho. Didn't really like Lunar Park.The deleted is a strange fruit. A group of hot young men and women like to be naked all day, have sex and take drugs. But hey they were made this way by an evil organization called "the institute". They escaped but the bad guys try to take them back. It takes a while to understand who is Ryder, who is Parker, who is Logan. Then there's Breeda and Agatha. Basically that's all you need to know. There's much nudity (sadly only one female main character show nudity) and no much sex. Its experimental. Episodes are only 12 minutes. Don't think there will be a second season but i want one. You can't really watch TV series on iPhone. Make the episodes at least 30 minutes. It's nonsense crap but i wouldn't mind more of it.

    If you have a jar a Vaseline and an addiction to soft core porn, enjoy it. As for a show with actors, writers, and a script....try something else because this is an empty sack of nonsense. If you maturity is over the age of 18 you will gag at the hollowness. As a show, there is nothing here but bad, terrible, and worse. To this day I still am amazed of how bad some shows can be, but this one even surprised me at the level of bad.It's either written by sexually frustrated 30 year old's or hormone challenged teens who just figured out about human body parts who's only experience in life is an app on their iphone to some bad teen porn site.Do yourself a favor, spare yourself from this spectacle of bad. This is beyond awful, not bad, just really really awful.

    I have to say this contains spoilers, because there is so little of substance to say about it.If you like looking at young, beautiful 20-something bodies (both male and female, straight and gay), these 15 minute mini episodes might be worth your time. For someone who enjoys binge watching ground- breaking, hour-long episodes, this one comes as a disappointment. I would like to think the target demographic (19-30 y.o.) isn't as shallow as this creation.Starting with a somewhat interesting premise, the plot line gets completely lost in the frequent sex scenes, which introduce us to a slew of characters whose most memorable personality traits are limited to the level of paranoia they feel. Most of the dialog sifts down to talking about having sex or the whereabouts of members of the group who can't be located. "Where is Logan?" If they are so concerned about being found, why have a fully nude 3-way in a living room with glass walls. They even provide a shot from outside house that highlights this.The episode length of 15 minutes is no where near long enough to develop story nor characters, especially when they feel the need to include a review of the last episode and preview of the next, which consumes 139 seconds. They have to finish each episode with the credits running or the run time would be even less.This short run time leaves the viewer with little time to become engaged with. The amount of story/plot presented in this season is what I would expect in a single 42 minute episode. Maybe the producers want to create a show that people can watch in the time it takes to get to work on their phones...but this will never evolve into something better unless they rethink the format.If this were an academic project, as the teacher I'd suggest they go back, develop more plot and character depth, and produce some hour long episodes.
