    When i start watch this show, it was because Amanda, i knew her from Vine and her instagram videos so i thought this show gonna be cool or funny or whatever. the actors and actress i think really handsome and pretty but the point of the show is not clear yet and the scene basically 98% porn lol. There are too many sexy wearing and adult scene which i think make the point or the idea of the story gone. this show could do better in my opinion if they just change the scene, like seriously, you already got the good actors and actress, the story is thriller, mystery, and it sad if you just added porn scene to it instead of focusing on the main idea of the story.

    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.

    I was really, really excited for The Deleted. I know, I know that sounds strange. It's a web-series!! I only have three words to explain it: Bret Easton Ellis. After basically quitting being an author after 2010's Imperial Bedrooms, Ellis has gone off to have an interesting, if a bit bumpy, career as both a movie critic (if you've ever listened to his great podcast you know what I'm talking about) and a filmmaker (The Canyons, a couple short films and now this), a career which I have enjoyed following.So you can see why I would be interested to see how The Deleted actually turns out,, and after watching all eight episodes I'm kind of, well, mixed.It doesn't start out very well. The first episode has excellent, smooth camera-work and some pretty beautiful people, but it features some of the worst acting I've seen in a while. Like his 2013 flop The Canyons, Bret Easton Ellis' dialogue feels awkward transitioning from page to screen, and although his visual style is lovely, it seems as if he doesn't really know how to direct actors.Don't worry though, it gets better.Once the characters begin to meet up with each other and the cult they escaped from closes in, the show takes on a mesmerizingly soapy vibe, which fits it well. There's a lot of sex and some violence, and this is where Bret Easton Ellis finds himself at home. And then, suddenly, when you think the show has found it's groove...It loses it. The last two episodes are incredibly unsatisfying, and one contains one of the worst blunt-as-a- sledgehammer exposition scenes I think I have ever witnessed.So, in conclusion, it's pretty much a mixed bag, albeit an (mostly) entertaining one.
