I didn't get far enough in to really give it a fair number of stars, but I did shut it off for a very good reason. This show is clearly, entirely, scripted. These are actors and not real people. It's a shame cause this kind of show could have been interesting if they just bothered to find real sexual deviants who are actually passionate about their weird kinks. As it stands it's incredibly fake and boring.
Overall a pretty funny and decently paced political minded black comedy. It has a decent mix funny and serious that is blended well enough, and they were smart enough to end on a comedic note. This film shines when poking fun at the television journalists and meme culture.
Much of it is edited in a style similar to the average YouTube video. This was clearly intentional, but the ADHD cutaways to barely related things, use of emoji like graphics, and speed of cuts is annoying.
The real issues are the length (they had the ideas/jokes for 90 mins but ran almost 140) and the narrow minded satire of our society. The NYT stand-in is treated as great truth tellers, only backtracking on follow ups to the story when other "experts" say they are wrong. And more importantly omitting the Democratic Party from the film period. I don't believe they explicitly say the president is a republican, but she is an obvious satire for trump. In case anyone hasn't noticed, the democrats haven't done anything to fight climate change either. The final problem is too little Ron Perlman.

A cast filled with wonderful character actors is wasted in this somewhat confused and dull thriller. To its credit there are a few scenes with a good energy, especially the end. But no matter how great an actor Patrick Wilson is, this one isn't worth your time.
