This such a low budget film in that the only clear image is that of the main character alone a room at the Department of Homeland Security, looking at his computer. Oh yea... and that of the computer screen as well.

Plot is garbage. Only was to redeem it would be to convince it was meant as camp cult classic, but given that it's a Prime Original, it doesn't seem to be marketed that way.

Brain damaged script even had him alone in the entire DHS building during a national emergency of... well... the name says it.

If I knew it already had sufficient number of bad reviews, I wouldn't have watched it to end as I did. I just wanted it to be over so I could write this objectively while giving it a far chance.

Please not that I'm a hardcore fan of science fiction. If you're not a huge fan of Sci-fi, or any of the actors, don't expect that my 5-stars will apply to your experience as you'll probably dislike it more than I did.

This was barely worth the watch or not worth the watch. Really just wasn't that much to see beyond the intro.

Read the 30 word description here on IMDB and you've got most of what happened. Sure, it doesn't list all the details in the movie, but it does say "Food Shortages" plural, where as the movie details from one meal and technically doesn't mention even mention any of the day even though there probably was shortages.

"There was poop. There was poop. There was poop." Yea... I got it, the toilets didn't work.

Although, honestly, the reported as if every puddle had feces in it and I think it's likely it was an exageration. It certainly contradicted itself at least once, but said so little, it really couldn't have contradicted itself a whole lot of times.

If was going to add spoilers, which I'm not, it would be the specific (boring) location where it stopped and how many days it took to get back to land. Not really all the interesting, but just about the only things they didn't tell you immediately. Oh... and they changed their TOS afterwards. Yawn.

Pretty horrible. The stuff they do is trying to be funny or hip and is tailored individually to each of many of their shows.

But the big problem is that this is about a large number of their shows, and the genres and audiences for each is very different, so it's pretty hard to watch through the stuff about the shows that you don't care about it and which you don't relate to or enjoy.

Reviewing after only a few shows are addressed because I just couldn't take it much longer.

Also, although I am a fan of Squid Games, Squid Games is a horror show about shooting unwilling game participants in cold blood. Tudum just jokes around about that with a live in-house audience with guards that are dressed like killers that kill their participants; that was extremely distasteful and shouldn't have been done.

They even refer to the audience as if they were part of their fight-to-death game; they say "Tonight there are only rewards and no penalties", but when the "penalties" are almost always being shot to death within the show, it's really too much to expect general audiences to be watching on a show that isn't even specific to Squid games or even horror shows in general.

If I was going to make a suggestion, I'd suggest they lighten up the mood, make the segments about each show shorter, and try to concentrate more on new content rather than joking about the old stuff quite as much as they do.

BTW... 5-stars is about as low as I ever rate anything. It was fun to watch the Squid-game guards at the beginning, but watching it is very taxing, as is trying to find the parts there about shows that I like - the second show it addresses is one I know almost nothing about, probably isn't for me, and I suspect most viewers won't be fans of all the shows depicted. So I suspect most viewers have the same problem with the Tudum show that I did.
