I’m having a hard time writing a review on “The LXD” (“The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers”). I hate the show because it’s horribly written, and the acting is awful. But – I try not to scrutinize too much because my reviews are awful too, yet you’re reading this one. This must mean there is value in it somehow. Which brings me back to why I can’t stop watching “The LXD”.

“The LXD” is proof of the changing landscape of online entertainment. You no longer have to have ridiculously huge budgets, amazing actors, or even a good script to produce a good show. Something has to be amazing though, and in this case it’s the dancing. The dancing is stupid; stupid in a good way. No human should be able to move the way these people move. Except me, because that would be awesome.

The only reason I can think they’d even have a plot is to make you hope that there will be some point in the end. I’d watch the show for the dancing but the plot makes me wonder. Really that’s all it does.

Because the episodes are so short, waiting for one to come out is kinda like someone sending you one page of a comic book by mail every five days – you just want to wait for it all to get there but you read it anyway because it’s so easy to consume. I hate when people do that. Seriously, stop.

It’s not likely that you’ll make it through the first episode or even the second if you just sit down and watch it after reading this review. In fact, it took a good friend of mine to sit me down and help me plow through the first few while explaining along the way that they don’t get better, and that she couldn’t believe anyone got her to watch so many of them. Sorry I’m not there for you like Maren was for me, but you’re going to have to trust me on this one; turn off your TV, turn on Hulu, and watch at least the first three episodes of “The LXD” – then come back here and thank me in the comments.
