Saw it trending in Overseerr so i snatched the whole season cause i needed something to watch this weekend.
I went in blind, all I know is that is based on some Chinese Novels.
I watched the first couple of episodes and so far:
- The two main characters are insufferable girl bosses, specially the Eiza Gonzalez character. Like the bestests of the best in their fields.
- Males are either simps and / or buffons.
- Every relationship is interracial. Asian / Curry eater, with white dude simping over 6/10 Asian. Whitexican Coal burner.
- Cop is kid is a faggot, because.. reasons?
I HIGHLY doubt a Chinese author would create these characters, so this makes me believe NF just did a Witcher 2.0.
Anyone that has read the books or is familiar with the story, whats the take?
They ruined it in exactly the same way they ruined Game of Thrones in the last two seasons, only not as bad. Great source material, good enough kick off in the beginning, then a hard fumble. Shit just happens one thing after another with little logic to the order and the way it’s presented makes no sense after a while. Characters aren’t very believable. That’s not even considering the DEI stuff.
It is pretty hilarious that people seem to exclusively pair up with people of opposite races. The Asian cop actor also gets made fun of as a fat old out of date dad, and his ungrateful son insulting him while being unemployed and playing video games is gay for no reason. It’s not even a plot point and he’s a non character, it’s just inserted for no reason. He’s basically playing Mortal Kombat and looks down on his dad that’s paying the bills and talks about his boyfriend and that his dead mother had bad taste for getting with his dad and fathering him and funding him to be a loser. There’s an authentic hatred for the dad there as a normal heterosexual father that had a kid.
