All My Friends Are Racist (2021)
A potentially funny and insightful show let down by empty characters
A quasi-comical look at the worst of Zoomer / Millennial stereotypes with a diverse cast and the occasional great one liner help get you to the end of each episode.
The two anti-hero leads are shallow and vapid, willingly caught in an echo chamber of their own self centred perceptions. It makes them cruel and uncaring to almost everyone they come in contact with.
"All my friends are racist" refreshingly touches on a few taboos and important topics, but the characters are so clueless, most of the discussion is reduced to tired soundbites. There are moments where you think they are about to learn something real, but ultimately they learn nothing.
To make sure we know there's nothing to take seriously, the season starts and ends with the two of the metaphorically ugliest characters we've seen in some time saying "I'm so glad we're not ugly"
First Signal (2021)
Is Mark Lund the new Ed Wood?
Watching First Signal brings back memories of any Ed Wood movie. It's so bad it's almost good... almost.
The concept of a good story was in there, but ultimately not played out.
I'm looking forward to First Signal featuring on Mystery Science Theatre.
