what lets it down and prevent people seeing its surreal nightmarish qualities, are the sets . They looked like cheap old style panto sets.
It would of looked fantastic had it been shot on location dressed with realistic steampunk props on dark Victorian streets, kitchens and interiors too - I think more fans may take it more seriously then.
But I think they tried their best to create the mood with what they had and limited gameshow studio lighting.
