Don't be fooled by the absurdly effusive marketing department style on line reviews, for the most part "Light Shop" is a horribly disjointed, disorientating, often frustrating and generally tedious watch.

Like so many scripts these days, over trying to be "clever" is a substitute for actually telling a cohesive, relatable story. In spite of its title "Light Shop" spends a large portion of its time, fumbling around in the creative darkness, trying to find a glimmer of direction and purpose, let alone interest.

The only real upside I could see in this lethargic mess, was decent acting and solid production values. Even then one painful episode that went nowhere I cared to follow, was more than enough.

In summary, the only thing this series illuminates is the script's inability to tell an intelligible, engaging and generally worthwhile story. A hard pass from me.
