I started out watching Ep1. Absolutely nothing happened, so I skipped to Ep3. Nothing was still happening, but there was an hilarious aside where one of the groups who are having so many personal issues whilst the planet is apparently being totalled cannot charge their Tesla. The moral of the story so far is if the planet is getting fried, make sure you have a real car. Or steal one. I take it that is a nod to BLM. Then I jumped to Ep 06. Still no aliens. Lots of first world angst. Then I deleted the entire pile of merde, and loaded War of the Worlds, the one with Gabe Byrne. Seen it a zillion times before, but at least the dramatic bits don't send me to sleep.

Many people have commented on the boring, filthy dialogue. Few mention the boring, filthy morality. Utterly bereft of decency, with not a single glimmer of humor, I overlooked it in 2004. Maybe I had better things to do with my time, like watching paint dry. Unfortunately, streaming has got so bad that I downloaded this pile of excrement in hope. Having made it through the first, I now have 35 episodes of drivel still to endure. That is not going to happen. The Delete button beckons. It certainly goes a long way towards proving that civilisation ended in 2001, not 188whatever. Some rather good actors must have been short of cash to do this stinker.

I am not sure why everything on TV of any interest these days seems to come from Paramount Studios, but it may have something to do with the decidedly UnWoke mindset there.

Wonderful stuff here, though. Kevin Costner is JR. All the good ol' boys wear string ties. The female lead should have been Joan Collins, but no one can do that these days. Who ever it is doing the impersonation is not at all bad.

The only problem is the soundtrack. No matter how loud I try to turn it up, I cannot drown out Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention's; "Moving to Montana Soon, Gonna be a Dental Floss Tycoon."
