Douglas Is Cancelled

After years of writing talent wasted on silly stuff like Doctor Who, here we fins Steven Moffat back doing what he does best - writing biting farcical satire with quite a bit of depth. "Douglas is Cancelled" is disturbingly close to the reality of today's easily (and willingly) offended-on-someone-elses behalf, ultra-woke and totally intolerant cancel culture - maybe just a bit speeded up for dramatic effect.

This is where Moffat's skills really shine, delivering perfectly honed lines that sometimes takes a minute or two to sink in. Too bad the young know-it-alls will be immune to the message here, just like the daughter.

This is not as good as Moffat's magnum opus "Coupling". Well, nothing is, or ever will be. But so far it's easily on par with "2012" and "W1A", which is high praise indeed.
