JPod (2008)
Not as funny as expected..
Douglas Coupland's TV show jPod has the potential to be a hit, because of the interesting plot developments, and the chance for the characters to become more deep and realistic. Currently, the characters in the TV series seem too exaggerated, especially the Cancer Cowboy and Steve. However, I think that the show will get better, the pilot was maybe a 5/10 with a couple of genuinely amusing moments, but the second episode was at least a 7/10, because of the refugees.
However, much has been lost in the transformation of the funny and original novel to a relatively mainstream TV show, and the acting is mediocre at best.
We can only hope that Coupland takes charge and has more input in production of later episodes, because right now it seems a little watered down.
