I mean, it's funny in part because some of it rings true. (Now, I never thought of covid as being a world destroying, apocalyptic situation so I thought that was over the time, but the basic premise of internal politics overshadowing our actual, pressing concerns-- dead on.)

Agree.

Cringeworthy all around. McKay continues to try too hard and it's obvious.

And no, not a Trumper

He was beyond weird. What a waste of a wonderful actor. What was with his high Mickey Mouse voice?

Sooo bad. Interesting ideas but poorly done. Overly long. Weird camera angles. Jennifer and Leo were good but others not so much. Tech dude killed any energy that was on screen. Bad acting on his part. Bad directing. Way way way too long. Disjointed. Annoying. Ugh.

Good summary.

Hated Meryl’s much lower voice and Mark Rylance’s super high voice. WTF?

Wasn’t there a bit of the pillow guy in there?
I loved when Streep said to keep it low key when she was addressing the public and then cued the fireworks display and the lit up White House, that was funny.

Also Jonah hill’s interactions With JL were hysterical.

They started out as equal opportunity offenders but it was heavily skewed towards mocking trump at the end. Maybe they didn’t want to be canceled ?

I think the point was to make him smarmy and weird. He wasn't just a tech billionaire, the point was to make him cult guru-ish as well, meta evolution of the species or something like that, and also utterly repellent to viewers.

The most enjoyable Netflix Celebrity move so far.

The bag over the head.

The end was tough. Given that it's more or less a few decades from being true.

We are already there.

The creator said that he had to go back to make the story *even crazier* after the pandemic hit. Real life was been more absurd than his original story.

I watched last night and really liked it. I thought it absolutely worked as a satire. The threat could be global warming, the pandemic ... practically anything. I REALLY liked Meryl Streep ... felt like she was having fun, and that's not always the case. Chalamet was touching.
