The good work of the "older" faces just emphasises that the new actors look awful at acting. The obvious lack of budget combined with the poor level of acting ability is making this a very hard watch for me despite the story being intriguing and fairly well written, as it feels like fan-fiction rather than a real TV show/film.
You need to remember where the funds came for this, so it's about getting enough people interested in this in order to have a network pick it up for full support.
