It's pretty slick the way they've made it "civil rights" to shove the gay agenda down everyone's throats (literally and metaphorically) and therefore "not political" but if you speak out AGAINST the gay agenda, you are being political.


Also this.


For real. Heaven forbid you not be completely on board with the agenda.

What’s even worse about this shite is this is actually the second show Disney has put parthenogenesis into. The new Doctor Who show ALSO has a parthenogenesis episode. Obviously someone high up in Disney is desperate for it to be real


Well, they do put their intentions and messages into their content, so it's probably more than one executive. It's a progressive ideal for sure, as it could be a blow to traditional society constructs that we may never recover from.

And oh the gene editing. Can't wait for the master race.

Part of the reason that the writing, dialogue and story are so bad is because those aspects of it aren’t important to Headland. Sure the messaging is out of place and over the top obvious but with some nuance and restraint you could actually introduce some of that stuff in a subtle way that might make it’s existence somewhat believable in universe. This is why there’s no defense for these shows. They’ve become this unpalatable mix of the show runners self insert, wish fulfillment and political propaganda. Thats why nobody likes it.

believability isn’t my issue with the witch cult

It’s a big universe I am sure lots of weird stuff goes on.

The Power of One stuff is just dumb.

It’s only unbelievable because of how they’re written. The outline of what the group is could certainly exist.

I expect a certain level of weirdness with any witch coven.

But it’s saying essentially “strength in numbers” over and over again like it’s profound and not just common sense is dumb.

Also why do we go from 2 to maaaaaaanyyyy.

That chant is something that will follow this show around forever. Also “strength in numbers” for a group that cannot reproduce is pretty dumb.

of course

Disney is trying to make it a thing.

This show was billed as a mystery and i am not sure what the mystery is.

First I thought it was going to be who was killing Jedi. thats what I believes coming into it, but that was solved pretty fast.

Then I thought it was going to be how the first started.

But nope that happened pretty fast.

so far every “mystery” has just been me not knowing something about a show i’ve never seen before.

And that basic thing is the broken backbone of the show. The murder mystery lasts half an episode so it isn’t a murder mystery show at all. The only real mystery is finding out who Smilo-REN will end up being but I’m fairly certain we’ll be able to deduce this well before the reveal happens and that isn’t something nearly big enough to support a show anyway.
