Reviews Missing the Point
23 November 2021
If you're complaining that the characters are acting repetitively, you're missing the point. Nothing really changes.

If you're complaining that the people who are so powerful and successful are mostly bafoons, you're missing the point. That's exactly the commentary the creators are making through this satire.

If you're complaining because this seems farcical and unrealistic, you'd be deeply depressed to know how close to accurate the satire is.

We needed to be reminded that while the characters are entertaining, they would literally sell your freedoms to increase the bottom line of their media empire. We needed to be reminded that we aren't supposed to empathize with the characters representing the ppl who have destroyed democracy for the sake of profit. You aren't supposed to like anyone here. You are supposed to marvel at the acting and get chills as you are reminded that the elite sit in hotel suites sipping champagne while your children's future burns.
