I just watched the first episode of the new Futurama season and the running gag was their attempt to make fun of the Hulu streaming network (Fulu)… in the year 3023. Not only that, but they also parody Black Mirror which itself parodies Netfix (Streamberry) in their latest season.

What is up with all of this meta stuff? Does anyone actually enjoy it? Is this really the quality of TV prior to AI taking over the writing?

I feel like an old man yelling at the clouds right now ☁️, but look at how they massacred my boy, Futurama!

Yes, The OA was quality. Another show I liked was starring Hillary Swank about a first manned mission to Mars and the challenges both the astronauts, their families, and their societies faced.

Cancelled after one season?? It must be amazing! Fuck I hate netflix for their BS. Shitty tv shows get more seasons while the gold gets discarded.

I'll check it out. On IMDB I was reminded she was in I Am Mother which is a great sci fi movie. At least movies can't suffer the same fate as series. Kind of. Still want to see a Dredd sequel.

Hillary Swank is one helluva fine actress. I like her because she isn't typically Hollywood beautiful. She has an imperfect beauty about her that positively radiates.

That explains so much. She is excellent
