The Premise watchseries. Two epidode premiere, big stars, and edgy comedy. It's exactly what you'd expect from the commercials and it's what you're going to get. It's a little slow building up, but it's funny and more sharper than it appears to be in the commercials. If I had to wrap this up, it's a funnier and very edgy Twilight Zone and I'm not mad. Can't wait for more episodes and potentially a new season.
How brave to tackle issues from one side only and have no original thought at all.
Unique in this aspect, the aspect of political relevance and accuracy ) brings the top and subtle details of this culture war.
Well acted, well built.. a bit unrealistic and exaggerated but its worth the trip.
Comedy? Right. Trash? Probably!
I didn't even think about laughing. I do very much regret the time wasted. Just hot button issues and shock value. Trying to appear more then it is. A perfect example of modern propaganda. Pretty lame to try to use the neutral "comedic" platform. To push agendas and opinion. Comedy and animation. Should be a creative and safe space. Sad to see it getting tainted. Worse the minority of people that buy into this. So we can get more quality garbage! Seriously , what happen to standards. All that happened was I lost respect for some actors. That chose to be involved in this trash.
P. S. Idk what you're smoking. Comparing this to the twilight zone. Lol blasphemy , Maybe the crappy remake. Love you Jordan, but easily your worst work. Left a Emmy award winning show. To try to remake and try to replace. A legend, good call. Lol , its so bad! Yet , black mirrors dead in the water.... A decent modern version of the twilight zone. But didn't do themselves the dishonor. Or just couldn't afford it lol. You got to love it. . Should of just watched Key and Peele reruns.
We need more TV shows like this. Thank you BJ for writing this: it is innovative, moving, engaging and real. There is an underlying painful irony that could be experienced as comedy, but for me, this was drama at its best. Please keep writing and sharing your gifts with the world!
