A show specifically made by partisan hacks and wannabe polemicists, for the purpose of degrading the literal foundation of the fantasy genre, is not going to be judged in a vacuum.
People have every right to drag this farce, and to dogpile it too. it's not just that it's bad on it's own, and it really is bad on it's own. It's that it's bad for the propose of destroying one of the best works of fiction ever created by humanity.
How would you know it's dishonest? You've only watched the trailers. At most you can say it's hyperbolic but that's hardly an accusation with weight these days.
There really are scenes in the show that look like basement quality cosplay. The show's effects are whiplash inducing, it has staggering quality drops and I say that as a fan of Stargate.
Okay so let's take this clip as an example. Does this look like a billion dollars at work? Does this look like one of the most expensive pieces of media ever made?
Because to me it looks like exactly what I said, that a lot of this show's budget was stolen by producers instead of spent on the show itself. It makes Destiny 2 vanilla look well thought out.
And that's even if you discount how atrocious the actual writing is. Because "oh lawd them rangs" isn't really a stretch.

My point is that the cartoonish and dishonest criticism distracts and detracts from the very legitimate criticism of everything you just said.
It's cultural vandalism and deserves to be lambasted as such. There's no need to exaggerate.

I'll have to take your word, because I can't be bothered to watch it.
Though, from the quality of this clip, I would say it looks like a mid-budget production with amateurish direction/editing.
