As much as The Animatrix had proven that you could write various exciting scripts taking place inside the Matrix, the episodes of Harsh Realm are proving that if you are not entirely focused, creating a virtual reality is so beyond difficult that it becomes very bad very quickly.
This is the case here. The episode is another mess. The characters are in a type of WW2 simulation. Nothing makes sense and it is highly difficult to care about characters wandering randomly in a virtual reality.
There could have been so many great concepts, such as the lead character falling for a virtual character. But here, the show is yet another episode where the characters run from one place to another without any purpose at all. Their initial goal was to kill Santiago. Instead of planning it, they simply run towards mundane tasks that are as unimportant as uninteresting.
At least the previous episode had Inga Fossa, which was an interesting and enigmatic character. Here, there is just nothing.
I know that in fandoms, fans usually spit on the studios and always think that the studio only care about money and only provide bad feedback. Well, I think FOX was totally right to cancel this series after three episodes. It just doesn't work. And you can go and go at it, the concept is simply not working. Therefore, the only right thing to do was to pull the plug.
This episode (4) is the first one that did not air on Fox, but aired on FX, six months after the previous episode.
VERDICT
I give this episode 1 out of 5. I am only four episodes into the series and I am overly bored to death. Please, can anyone stop the game?
