I thought This show was interesting and funny when it was online. The first episodes are great but as it goes on and becomes more and more diluted. The vignette style stories become set pieces to nothing. Laughs more and more rare. More and more boring. The worldview becomes suddenly so obviously from the brains of people who don't live in the real world but a fictional version of NYC. Then it starts getting super woke with normalizing cross dressing in front of kids and gender identity nonsense. Way ahead of its time, but has not aged well in 2023. I remembered this being funnier when the world wasn't so infected by woke propaganda, but this show is a great example of how it starts sneaking into civil society. Now just look at what NYC has become. A nightmare post covid hellscape where pizza causes climate change so it must be banned. Can only imagine that Sinclair is working his woke poison on Dave on FX these days which is why that show just keeps getting more and more perverse and less entertaining. After this revisit, there's no way we'll be watching the HBO reboot, but seems the reviews are the same- interesting and fun idea in the hands of writers with a dry well of ideas and an agenda that comes on strong and vapidly pisses itself away just as fast. Yuck.
