This is a terrible show. Clearly they don't have much budget as there is virtually no action and the focus is on melodrama. I watched most of the first season and there are no aliens to be seen, only robot dogs. Another show where only the stupidest people survive. Everyone is an idiot and acts unrealistically for the situation and the writing is horrible. There is a heavy focus on female over male characters and a stupid amount of DEI overrepresentation. Also a clear pro illegal immigrants agenda even though the immigrants are clearly involved in illegal behavior. Then there is the blind white girl who inexplicably falls for the black immigrant who held her hostage at gunpoint several episodes earlier. I thought for sure the other review here had to be wrong about the blind girl but nope, it' correct blind white girl sleeps with black illegal immigrant and suddenly gets her sight back. That was the end for me. This is not war of the worlds, it's woke agenda driven drivel. .
Basically a family dramedy. Some mildly humorous moments but hardly laugh out loud. Decent acting but this is a golf movie at heart. I think if you enjoy gold you may get more out of this. It's also a bit long at 2hrs than it really needs to be. The only thing a little woke is a running joke/theme about the golf tournament being a boys club and it's the first time a female has been allowed to play. It's a small thing but it feels forced in. I was getting pretty bored by the halfway point as it all kind of fells like the same jokes reused over and over and could of been a much shorter movie.
Woke powder peppered all over this show
I was given multiple glowing praises for this show, and since Noah Wyle was the main actor, I was looking forward to watching this recommended show. I wasn't able to make it past the second episode. It is tainted with today's far-left narratives. One of the first ER patient we see is allegedly pushed onto the subway tracks, doctors says "This is a hate crime!" because she's from Nepal. Why is it a hate crime? Why not just... a crime? Second episode: Doctor 1 "What's going to happen to them (parents of child who accidently ingested cannabis edibles)?" Doctor 2 "Nothing, because they're white!". All these narratives are peppered into the show, ruining it. I really wanted to enjoy this show, but this isn't for me!
I am completely unfamiliar with the game this is based on but am aware of who Markiplier is. As an adaptation this may be a good one and those that know the game may get more out of it than I did. The acting is good as are the FX and sets. I found the story and pacing to be lacking. At over 2hrs the movie drags a lot with long slow drawn out sections of nothing but the character taking photos, talking to himself and plotting a course for the sub. I also would barely call this horror, more cosmic sci-fi with horror elements. It's not terrible by any means it's just not really for me. I didn't see anything I would consider woke. I don't know if the female lead is from the game or not but either way she doesn't come across as a girlboss at all. The cast is very tiny and she just seems to be the one in charge of that particular group. I've said it before but a female in a position of authority is not automatically a girlboss and a single female authority position is not instantly an agenda push.
