Creamerie

I started off on board, ready to see what interesting ways the series would go about subverting the whole "virus kills off people with certain chromosomes" trope and how that impacts society, but unfortunately I felt like the show fumbles with executing what could have been an interesting new take. Between the wild tonal shifts between the first half of the series and the last and the almost slap stick way the series chooses to deal with sexual coercion and assault, I lost the thread with this one. There are a smattering of compelling choices, but taken all together, this show was a bit of a mess for me.

With a world population of about 8 billion that's about 4 billion males, With 99% dead, that leaves about 40 million alive. The current population of New Zealand is 5.1-5.2 million people. Imagine trying to ship 40 million additional people there and trying to house them, feed them, provide medical care, collect sperm, ship it world wide, etc. I know this is a comedy but there are limits to maintain so there is some kind of concept you can hold on to that is a BIT plausible. The premise could have been served by all men being put in thousands of facilities around the world and the action centered around one place in the world. Call me a nitpicker if you will but there are things that just take you right out of the situation as if in an action movie someone just shouts "bang you're dead" instead of actually holding a gun.

Loved it! Wish I could live in this reality! Felt fresh and funny. Reminds me of a more sinister version of the Woman World comics by Aminder Dhaliwal.

After watching fifth episode I am done with this. In spite of interesting premise, first episode itself wasn't great, but I continued watching. 2nd and 3rd episodes were good, then again it went downhill. Most of the 4th episode is at some some sort of fair, 5th episode at dinner table. No edge of seat thrills because this is very low budget stuff. No funny moments. Hardly one or two jokes in an episode. Lone surviving male is hunted by a woman with a tranquilizer gun. That's how exciting it is.

This is the best show I've seen in a long time. After binging the whole thing I was elated to find Ally Xue, J. J. Fong, and Perlina Lau's other shows, Flat3 and Friday Night Bites, on Youtube. Can't wait until season 2 and all the other wonderful things that I'm sure these three will create!!!! I'm now a fan for life.
