Mediocre

Rating: 5/10 (24 April 2010)

I had hoped that pirate radio would be something special. Instead it was completely benign and rather slow moving. It had a few charming characters but none of them displayed any depth and I was wishing I'd rented something else about 1/2 way through.. I don't recommend this show as anything beyond a mildly amusing and overblown take on little piece of pop culture history. This story could have been better told with some added character development and maybe a more realistic look at the government's opposition. It was really hard to take this story for anything beyond a little poke at the establishment. Seems to me that this could have been turned into something quite witty, charming and thought provoking. Instead it came off as really quite hokey and unbelievable. Better luck next time.
