... View MoreThis series is more superficial than the serial killer protagonist from American Psycho. Bret Easton Ellis has unfortunately failed to redeem himself after The Canyons. The acting is poor, and the story line beyond the premise simply uninteresting. The series does have some decent production value. The problem is that it was not executed effectively. I doubt audiences from a younger generation who have come to see the bar raised with Game of Thrones would subscribe to something this poorly developed. I think that unless you are easily satisfied with pretty faces, sexy bodies, and gratuitous romance, I wouldn't waste your time.
... View MoreI 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.

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.
... View MoreI 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.
