Bob L @RT76975801 May 13 Basically Pleasantville reset in Chinatown, giving a bit of watered-down WestWorld. Ronny Chieng's material is a perfect fit for his character, while the overall narrative dawdles. As characters within the constructed reality slowly gain self-consciousness sufficient to recognize the recycling/resurrection of others, I think the first season's biggest failure is the protracted amount of time it takes for them to put these few pieces together.

I liked our every challange Willis had he treated like a puzzle, as a fan of escape rooms, felt similar. Some of the plot twists were a bit more predictible than others (like Lana and his brother), but still overall engaging. I do however have one bit that I think it was a really poor choice and could've changed the whole finale out of a mediocre 5 to a 10 and that is the final picture on the desk.. I was fine with how Lana though about escaping the 'matrix', combining with the game and the roof reference, final boss needed two players etc.. BUT... showing the picture of Johnny and Willies when Willis was young implies he never escaped and just raises 10x more questions... INSTEAD... showing a picture of both of them adults, doesn't matter the setting, might implied they manage to free him from the limbo and brought him into this 2nd show.. WAY more satisfying to think about and continue. If they make s02 why should we care? About Willies and Lana that barely had any romance going on? When the whole time his brother was painted (pun intended) as the hero .. yet now good ending for him. Anyways, that's my only complait. Pretty decent to watch otherwise.

The whole meta concept isn't really thaught through or at least not executed in a good way. Take away that concept and it comes down to a very bleak version of the very crime shows it's meant to mock. The characters, except Fatty, have no substance whatsoever. I get that they are supposed to be background characters and as such replaceable. But the show is literally about background parts taking the front stage. And still neither the script nor the actors manage to give them character See more Admiral b @admiral_mohamed Oct 4 I did not like the story or characters See more K T @RT19353740 Sep 18 This is one of two shows I've felt the need to recommend. This show is a absolute must see for many reasons. It is such a fun watch with others to debate thoughts, compare favourites and enjoy the show. Comedy, drama, thriller, romance, it has it all. Honestly first rotten tomatoe review I've made. I hope others feel the same and another season gets going! See more Gareth v @geewah 06/17/2025 Dull. Extemely dull. Outside of Ronnie Chieng's "mean waiter", this show lacks humour and any real dramatic punch to keep you entertained. See more Read all reviews
