Title: Red Dwarf VIII: Well acted, badly written
Product review: Red Dwarf 8 was recieved eagerly in both the UK and overseas. Hovever, despite vastly improved special effects, it seems that the writers of Red Dwarf, for the first time for over a decade, have run out of ideas. The series was brilliant in its early stages, and maybe it is just overshadowed by the hiarious series 7, but Red Dwarf 8 just seems very substandard compared with earlier episodes. The acting is very good from all cast members, but it is unfortunately very poorly written. If you really want to see Red dwarf in its full splendour, I would suggest the newly digitally remastered Series 1,2, & 3 videos available in most video shops, and give this one a miss, unless all you want is to be dazzled by high-budget computer graphics.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
