Santa Inc.

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'.

How on earth did they think to green-light this? This is possible the worst thing I have seen in a long time. This is just sad and depressing. This shows how out of touch Hollywood can be with the audience thinking this was actually a good idea.

I have actually seen "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians," widely considered to be the worst film ever made. I actually liked it when I saw it, but I was six years old and can be forgiven. But "Santa Inc" is actually worse than my adult opinion of SCCTM. "Santa Inc" is just totally tone deaf. Seth Rogen and Sarah Silverman just have no idea to whom their show is addressed. Kids will not get into it and adults will be alienated. Sorry, it really is as bad as they say it is. If nothing else, Rogen and Silverman have made something memorable. Not in a good way, alas.

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.

Im not going to go into all the obvious messaging in it I dont mind sticking your thumb in tradition Christmas is ripe for that kind of thing. This just IS NOT FUNNY IN ANY WAY. By 15 minutes in I wasn't paying attention anymore. Why is adult animation so hit or miss You got great ones in Big Mouth on netflix Ten year old Tom on hbo max, Bobs Burgers on fox a though there getting to the end of the line. Archer on FX (same thing as bobs burgers) But there has been 3 or 4 adult animations coming out in last couple months that have just been horrible and this is probably the worse. Fairfax ave from amazon, Adventure Beast netflix, Harper house parmount, The Prince hbo, America the motion picture netflix. These were all junk - this is like America the motion picture didnt make sense was stupid and it was all about saying dirty words and sex which if fine but AGAIN not funny at all. I finally gave up totally on it half way episode 3.
