The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.
It is not very good.
One aspect I’ve come to expect from most series coming out of Apple TV+ is that none of em really have much story to tell. They have a bit of story, it’s kinda interesting.. But they will use 9 episodes to show you story and character development that could have been done in 3.
I hear of a new type of TV series, one that is meant to be watched while you’re doing other work. Like cooking, cleaning, and other chores. In these shows, next to nothing will happen every episode, so you miss out on nothing, so we have no issue working as the series is playing in your headphones, not even looking at the screen. I was able to watch this series so quickly, because I was skipping through most of it. I assure you, I missed nothing of worth.
Several series I’ve seen on Apple TV have been as disappointing or worse. Another show ‘Alien Invasion’, episode 1 was quite interesting, there were crop circles and something was coming! Oooh! What could it be I wonder. And then absolutely nothing happens for the next two episodes.. A guy cheats on his wife.. Apple assumes I care? Where are the f*cking aliens!
I tried a few other shows on Apple TV, and then cancelled the subscription.
The actress actually got a Golden Globe! Great! The show is still poo poo.
The story is something a couple of friends would come up with at random like,
Person 1: “Yo bro, what if aliens took over, but here’s the twist they’re not trying to kill us. What if they’re super nice”.
Peron 2: “Yeah that’d be new, I guess..”
“Wouldn’t it be boring though?”
Person 1: “We’ll add a Karen to show the contrast or something?”
Person 2: “Suure..”
Dumb ideas like this should die here, not get onto Apple TV.
Is it better than Blumhouse?
It’s more effort than Blumhouse.. so we’ll give it a pass.
Character development was alright though.
