Viewing Notes
Pretty let down by this. I had heard it wasn’t great, but I still had hopes for something decent even though I felt the premise was pretty much horseshit.
It had an opportunity to make a more biting political statement with that premise, but ultimately it just settled for paying lip service to it.
