Santa Inc.

I want to be 'Entertained' and can be on so many levels however this was not centered in entertainment yet seemingly an attack cloaked as comedy and, it wasn't even funny.

STICK with the premise this industry is about and that's 'Entertainment'. Not personal, spiritual or political bias that loses all basics... entertainment.

I'm sitting here watching this show and almost at the end of the first episode and it dawns on me...I haven't even come close to laughing a single time. And I realize why...because Seth Rogan and Sarah Silverman just aren't funny anymore and worse than that...they don't know what funny is. They've been living in their rich privileged celebrity bubble for so long they're completely disconnected from their audience and are oblivious to it. None of this material is edgy, it hasn't been for over a decade, it's just the mainstream narrative that we already see every single day. And what's worse it's written in a way where they're clearly stroking their own egos, the show is basically "Look how awesome and progressive we are! Praise us!". All this show does is display Seth and Sarah's narcissism.

As a longtime fan of both Rogen and Silverman I was genuinely looking forward to an adult holiday series in the style of the old Rankin Bass Christmas Claymation movies. I'd heard some initial negative feedback but just assumed that this was due to the typical audience that's not prepared for this type of humor in a traditionally kid friendly medium. Nope. This thing is offensively unfunny in every way. Not even an "it's so bad, it's good" cult future for this abomination. I rarely think about the "business side of entertainment" but I'd pay money to watch an entire documentary about how this series made it to HBO and the individual(s) that gave it the green light. I literally can't wrap my head around it, and it's going to keep me up at night. There has to be some form of blackmail involved here. Did Rogen kidnap the child of a prominent WarnerMedia executive? Does Silverman have compromising photos of Casey Bloys? The world may never know.

What you can be sure of is that any time you spend watching this series will be minutes of your life that you'll never get back.

Santa Inc. Has become the laughing stock of internet television because of its crass political allegories, mean-spirited characters, non-existent humour and wasting its full-series structure as a means to waste its potentially potent message that anyone's capable of goodwill (but first they must have it).

This show might try to work on some levels beyond the animation, but there's nothing of real worth here, because the characters don't justify its eight half-hour episodes or using the viewers' time. This is a Christmas show done poorly, and devoid of any subversive charm; it succumbs to its own cynicism.

Santa Inc. Exists; and that's far too much for some of us who watched it.

It has become self-evident that we are all witnesses to the creative decline of Seth Rogen and Sarah Silverman. I'm not a fan of Christmas films or shows at the best of times, but mocking Christmas' already cliched tropes with such disdain is so lazy, unwatchable and cringe.

No unjustified criticism or speculative conspiracy theories here, just a low-quality limited series. Emphasis on the 'limited'.
