Vile, vain and avoidable
Disgustingly vile is how the series begins, with the main character being shown graphically defecating diarrhea within the first few minutes. Not only do we get to hear it, we are shown it jetting across the screen, like thick oil spurting from a blown gasket. I have never seen anything so awful despite surfing the Web for years, as one is rarely surprised with such content and can avoid it. Not here, as the viewer is ambushed with nothing to telegraph the depravity one is about to witness. Shock tactics from toddler temperaments. Then, like a gullible fool, I disbelieved my own eyes and decided to give the crew a second chance by watching the next episode. I should be more judgmental it seems, as again, I was appalled to be subjected to a grizzled old man's full frontal nudity as he relieves himself by spraying towards the viewer. I turned away but was too slow; you see it all and if ever there was a need for brain-bleach then these were it. Even irl, normal men have the grace to conceal this act from others so putting it front and centre is a deliberate act to degrade the viewer. The writers must hate their audience. What kind of loathsome people (Ira Parker & Aziza Barnes) needed to make millions of people see this? It must be something twisted in their early lives... Indeed, one has already committed suicide at age 32 and we might wonder how long before others follow because these scenes were the product of sick minds. Fair warning: mental illness is contagious. You might recover from food poisoning or an infection but repeat exposure will permanently damage your body. So too the mind can shrivel and die from slow poisoning. Notice, I have not yet covered anything on the unrealistic racial and gender agenda, which denigrates men and deludes women. White men are shown as obnoxious fools, women as suffering or sex workers, and the love interest is now an ugly, female PoC (I think that's an acceptable term?) because of unrealistic wish-fulfillment fantasies. There are countless incidents scattered through-out the episodes and the political push ruins the immersion. It was dastardly disappointing because I really wanted to enjoy this series as the original tale is wholesome but this portrayal is a betrayal of all that made the tale good. It is not for me to tell others how to live their lives but, as a mental health worker, I have often been called upon to help the vulnerable and sick minds in society. Prevention is far better than attempting a cure, both for chainsaw accidents and mental illness. Thus I would recommend that decent people Do Not Watch this series. Boycott it and everything these perverts produce as they seek to defile and drag you down to their level by desensitising you to unhealthy and unhygienic behaviours, which ultimately lead to sick, shortened lives and dysfunctional relationships.
Low budget cosplayers do a better job.
This movie actually made me think Predator: Wastelands was a good film. And that’s saying a lot.
Good action film
On its own, without comparing it to any other movie, it’s solid. It’s based on real events, but the real events are definitely not exactly how they’re portrayed on screen → that’s 100% guaranteed. So it fits into the category of good-quality popcorn movies that focus on telling a story. As for the woke content, I’ll be completely fair: if this were a low-budget indie film, I’d probably let it slide. But this is heavyweight Hollywood, so there was no escaping the influence. The point I’m making is about the woman in the house who talks to them like some kind of wise oracle there to educate everyone. After that, it’s very enjoyable. Kudos to Damon and Affleck, they work better together than they do individually. Enjoy it!
Who is this even for?
I only watched one episode, but the first episode is supposed to capture the core of the whole story and hook the audience you want to keep watching. That hook just isn’t there. It left a bad taste, I kept waiting for at least something to laugh at, and it never came. I doubt I’ll even get to a second episode. It’s 25 minutes long, and by minute ten I was already wishing it would wrap up.
