I really like the idea and the story and from there alone it really could have been a hit series.
I always find it very charming, when elderly folk bands together against a common enemy or to achieve something spectacular.
Sadly, it does not work this time.
It suffers from bad casting and even worse acting, most notably the mayor and her henchmen as well as the leader of the sect are just silly.
Also it sometimes turns very very slapsticky, but without being actually funny.
With a slightly different cast or at least from the hands of a way better director, I could see myself enjoying this way more than I actually did.
