A Political Pamphlet Disguised as a Show
The one who thinks watching this show is somehow cool and can’t see what’s rotten right in plain sight → it’s a total no-brainer: this show is SUPER WOKE! Yeah, it screams diversity, equality, and inclusion everywhere like some kind of plague. It’s splattered all over, from the show’s poster and art style to the very first words spoken on screen. It’s all planned, plotted, and manufactured so idiots will think this is peak art when it’s not. It’s straight-up communist propaganda, ready to be jammed into the heads of people who think they’re edgy and on the side of revolution, veganism, and all that socialist crap.
The premise is interesting, but the execution is completely and deliberately designed to make you believe what’s being done is pure gold - it’s not. It’s just political messaging after political messaging for stupid snobs.
That’s it.
Totally skippable.
