...I'm sorry, what? Give the Gervais, Burr, Chapelle bits a watch. Even after the backlash they remain on Netflix. The guys in the youtube clip couldn't be further off the mark.
We don't really the term "woke" but the above is basically why my wife and I decided to cancel after 6 years. It seems that every show has elements to "poke/tease/provoke" some other party, or to generate controversy. Plus the fact that every show seem to go through an obligatory theme/character "checklist", leaving little space to the authors to manouver through a good story.
Being not americans, we were really tired about this, up to the point we say "ok, let's give this series a chance, but we stop at the first evident 'yankeeland move' (that how we say it)".
Speaking of weird messaging, this seems as good a place as any to bring up the bizarreness of Apple producing Severance.
For anyone who hasn't watched it yet, it has something to do with the lengths big corporations go to to prevent internal knowledge getting out. The premise of the show (all in the trailer) is that people get an implant so they have two separate lives at work and outside, where one is completely unaware of the other.
It's an excellent show, just surprising to see Apple putting it out, since their R&D team is basically the closest real-world equivalent we have.
The problem is it's not just kids using public cheats. There are private cheats that really damage the integrity of competitive gaming. Counter Strike Global Offensive is a good example of this.
