The complicated stories of the inhabitants of the city of Marais in the marshes of Louisiana, with a fantastic character as the main focus.
A new adaptation of a superhero story from the DC universe, namely Swamp Thing. With Len Wiseman involved (Underworld) as both producer and a director of 2 episodes, it raised expectations of a fantastic surreal imagined world quite believable in its individuality. The expectations are partially fulfilled because its quality and creativity were limited by too many precocious ambitions and the sudden cancellation of the series as early as episode two. So the story is interesting but too complicated with its multiple story lines and the ending fails to tie all the loose ends in a satisfying way. It feels like a real end with somewhat of a closure but one made in a rush. A shame.
Interestingly some famous names appear in it either as a comeback (Virginia Madsen - Candyman, Highlander II - or Ian Ziering! - from Beverly Hills and Sharkanado) or as an unexpected cameo (Adrienne Barbeau who was in the original Swamp Thing movie from 1982).
