I really tried to stick with this one, but it just wasn’t capable of keeping my attention. What could’ve been a fun or clever satire turns into a thinly veiled political rant pretty quickly.
The story feels like it takes a backseat to the attempt at a socioeconomic message about racial injustice that just makes you cringe, and because of that the plot ends up disjointed and hard to stay invested in.
The characters don’t help much either. They never really develop or connect, and come off more like placeholders for ideas than actual people. It makes it tough to care about what’s happening, and the humor doesn’t land the way it seems like it’s supposed to.
The narrator did a solid job—that’s honestly the only reason I didn’t quit earlier. He brings some energy and does what he can with the material, but there’s only so much a good performance can do when the story itself feels this scattered.
Overall, just disappointing. There’s a decent idea in there somewhere, but it gets buried under everything else. Good narration, weak story.
