I think you're wrong about the intentional cheesiness though. Sometimes it is, sometimes it's not..

The good actors in the show seem like good stage actors, where everything needs to be "big" to convey to the audience. Subtlety and nuance are...not strengths.

- They might be. They're very good at what they're asked to do in the show. But imo, that's not the same thing as being great actors. - musubi May 12, 14:31 1
  - personally I think it requires talent (including subtlety and nuance) to pull off those roles. - kare May 12, 14:38
Its really a stage acting show. Subtlety does not seem to be desired by the showrunners -- nm - crash davis May 12, 14:27 1
- Like pixie said, it's camp. - musubi May 12, 14:28
