I've never seen such a rich premises for a show where all it would take would be an incurable STD outbreak to send society into apocalypse mode.

You could have all the drama of the black plague with a modern setting. Some real good body horror moments where characters slowly morph into quasimodo due to assorted STDs.

I would like to see a show about the Radium Girls, with the same level of historical research and emotional involvement Chernobyl had. Or a decent series about the Dark Tower (not much space for HBO standars of full frontal nudity, but eh). Instead they're giving their audience a show meant to normalize troonery and guilt young gays/lesbians to enter in a relationship with people of the opposite sex. Sadly, it will probably be a success.

Ngl, I'd dig a Black Hole TV series.
 
In the interest of fairness, I watched the first episode.

The best way that I could describe it is if Edgar Wright and Gaspar Noe teamed up to make Skins, while not nearly being as interesting as it sounds. You have cool, stylish direction paired with some of the cringiest, edgiest and pretentious writing I've ever heard. For example, the main girl was born three days after 9/11 and they cut her coming out of the womb with the second tower being hit, before showing the baby crying at Dubya.

None of the characters really have personalities outside of their archetypes of "main character", "jock", "troon", "slutty one", "other slutty one" and "wannabe slutty one". I couldn't relate to a single character, which is a fundamental flaw considering teen dramas are built around relatability, but it could also be my HS experience as a bookish nerd coming into play.

I'm not sure "If you're deaf or a drugged-out teenage airhead, you'll love it" is a glowing review, but that's the ideal audience for this show. It has some genuinely cool direction paired with ridiculous pretension, and I've seen all that I've wanted to see from this.

Left ideologues can't write; Tumblr was their creative writing class.

I think I found the target audience of this show:
805639
 
I actually find myself agreeing 100% with blue checkmark translady up until the point I scrolled and the fourth line of the last tweet revealed itself.
I was expecting something more of like, difficulty finding a well paid job, college fees, taxes. Imagine my disappointment.
 
Doesn't take much to get a millennial actress to take her clothes off, which I am thankful for, I'm curious to see Zendaya's rooty tooties.

That is fucking hilariously stupid, I've got to see that.
 
Was it any surprise? She must follow the 'disney star' character path. It was a matter of time.
 
This show is unrealistic. I live in a shit hole country in the middle of the city and went to a fancy smancy school and half the shit the show portrays would only make sense if it happened in the ghetto or the hood...
Not a bunch of privileged Upper middle class brats and seemigly for no real good reason/ for shock value.
So yeah i call shenanigans on the author basing it "on real shit"

Oh good, more of Hollywood trying to normalize excessive drug use and risky sex under the guise of "this is REAL, man!" by people that haven't been teenagers since The A-Team was new.

I sometimes get the hunch that the reason we get so much "edgy" and "boundary pushing" entertainment out of Hollywood lately, especially in the realm of television, is that it's such a sewer of depravity where exploitation, fakeness, and backstabbing are expected and encouraged, and they've pushed us to accept that such a thing is "real". For Hollywood, maybe a morally bankrupt, corrupt and perverse lifestyle is real. There's enough cultural leeway for showing this stuff that they can just pull the veneer of respectability off and parade around the world as they know it...or how they think it should be.

Hollywood also likes to simultaneously entertain two conflicting arguments: "Entertainment has no negative effect on peoples minds", and "Entertainment can be a force for positive change". So it's become the Stoner Dude you knew in High School claiming that weed is a wonder drug with zero side effects.

I can't use a Spidey avatar after that rant. Back to the Shadows for me...

One thing to note is that Hollywood films and TV shows since the late 70s have been written by literal NPC rich kids who were too bland and forgettable to be bullied but too bland and forgettable in spite of coming from wealth and having well connected if not semi famous parents to be Stacy Hoe-Maker's practice cock so she wouldn't cry when Chad stuck his dick in her. And who probably only attended a single high school party if he was lucky and only one where he had to pay to get in, due to Chad needing money to get his car fixed.

So when they take over running the media, they project their fanfiction of what teen life is supposed to be as they are forever imagining the cool kids having wild sex fueled orgies and think the illusion is reality, creating a cascade effect Howard Beale warned about when he talked about how the fake reality of TV becomes more real to the masses than actual reality due to group psychosis.
 
Well damn, that’s a wrap. I’ve always felt this show was really a warning of drug use and other degenerate behavior.
 
There were leaks of the finale being the tranny 41%ing and I'm disappointed this didn't happen.

I also like how the show being over was basically announced over twitter. It's like everybody else was like "yeah, we have now important careers, bye".
 
The show went from high-school drama to Tarantino knock off in season 3. Last season was rough, but I honestly thought the last episode was good. Although I can understand if you were long time fan of the show hating passionately.

Actually, like Flea Bag, the last season takes a total right turn and everyone pays for their sins. God doesn’t save anyone from the consequences of this life, but you at any time can choose to do good is the theme. Lexi literally goes from “ugh, Christians? How judgmental” to “Oh, sister, you should read this book. The bible has way more sex and violence than I thought”.
 
Final season is a completely different show with the characters basically shoe-horned in.

Really bad and film student type stuff
