Free at last ! I really hated "La Brea" from start to finish, watching it has been one of the most painful televisual experiences I've ever had. It was awful and it was only my own stupid sense of duty that kept dragging me back.
The destruction of the portal machine leads to random portals being created and for prehistoric creatures to end up in 10,000 BC also. The destruction of their camp sees the survivors form an uneasy but closer alliance with the nearby village. Gavin (Eoin Macken) is desperate to find out what happened to Eve (Natalie Zea) and tries to track down Maya Schmidt (Claudia Ware) who he believes may know something about it.
I feel like I'm flogging a dead horse here but "La Brea" remains terrible by any metric you care to weigh it against. The performances are awful, the effects are poor, the story is confused and nonsensical and it continues to ignore its own established rules of time travel, let alone proposed ideas from other (better) science fiction stories.
As if realising that their selected time period was boring, they find the excuse to bring dinosaurs into the mix, which feels like it should have been the decision made when pitching the show in the first place. Also almost none of the cast end up having to stay in 10,000 BC, coming and going with the new dual portals. Characters I don't care about appear from nowhere and switch sides, from a side I don't understand to a faction I'm not interested in. It would all be OK if the show just committed to being campy fun, but it doesn't it's suddenly all about confused paramilitary organisations that have ludicrously impractical plans.
I don't normally hate watch shows, life isn't long enough, but I did with "La Brea" which I think has to take the crown as the worst series I've watched all the way through.
