- pests 3y agoWhat? It's been 45 minutes... 30 minutes before you replied. Give things a chance to settle.
- serf 3y agoI don't know what 'dog-whistle insults' even means in this case; but ignoring that, I thought the show sucked, too. In my case I think it's an aversion to specialized marketing. I hated Silicon Valley, too; I think it's a lack of distance from the topic which makes me overthink the thing rather than just having fun with the story. But with HACF I didn't just dislike the topic, I thought the acting was corny and stiff and I thought that the characters were unmotivated throughout the thing, with motivation being replaced with pseudo-historical anecdote. I thought the actors were poorly cast, and I feel like they did a bad job 'convincing' me of anything. "Of course they're doing the thing, that's who Z is!" isn't compelling enough for me to enjoy it and suspend my real personality from interjecting criticism during the watch. But who cares what I think : i've been out of lock-step with the crowd for a few years w.r.t. media consumption. Amazon/Netflix/Disney/whoever, AMC in this case shouldn't be considering what I think when toting their bags of money to the bank.
