TV Series

The Traitors US (Season 2) - Now bare with me on this one.

A host of mainly American Z-listers famous really only for winning or doing well in other Social Media/Reality TV guises, being grouped together in a Scottish castle (they actually sleep in the local Airport hotel) tasked to perform some gruelling tasks to win money that goes into a shared prize pot all while a few of the cast are plotting their downfall, secretly and in plain sight.

Seeing how these people change tactic and/or follow the new Alpha so quickly as the game takes its various twists is great viewing. Also seeing how badly these people react in situations without their managers/content advisers is a joy also.

The British first series of this was actually a good watch. Thought I’d hate it but no
 
After seeing the near fanatical levels of hate directed towards it I thought I'd give the acolyte a go. It's fine, a pretty average star wars story but pretty watchable if that's your jam.

A bit more reading and I saw the hate campaign was maga/right wing psycho driven. I wonder what they think a non-woke star wars looks like, presumably darth vader wins and enslaves the most Asian looking of the puppets

Pffft. Imagine the likes of Yoda using a gender neutral toilet?! Never going to happen. Galaxy has gone soft.

That doesn't make it fine though. Just a 2/10 instead of a 1/10.

For me it was in the okay bracket, would have liked more of Carrie Ann Moss, thought she fitted the role of jedi master well. Think the hints of the jedi being religious fanatics with some egregious practises on some level are a natural place for the stories to go. Boba Fett was indeed the dark times, the train heist aside its the worse thing I've watched since sons of anarchy

I also think its quite funny that heaps of the review bombing took place before any episodes aired, imagine getting that angry about star wars.
 
@Nymzee have you given The 8 Show on Netflix a go yet? what a rollercoaster that was :lol: by the end of it I still genuinely wasn't even sure whether I actually enjoyed it or not..
