Weird City (2019)
1/10
Isn't worth whatever YouTube paid for it.

This show feels like no one had their heart in it. Each episode hardly makes a point if it does at all and people are calling it a satire. The fact is that it is weird yet unremarkable. Neither the comedy nor the plot takes any risks at all and they seem to beat you in the face with the 'this is the society knob we turned up to 11!' to the point it is obnoxious at times and only adds to the shallow feel of the show.

A lot of good names are attached to this, so I think this goes to show that recognizable actors can't make gold out of a lump of coal.

I like to believe that Jordan Peele had nothing to do with this. Just watch some Key & Peele and you'll notice that someone on that show knew what makes something funny.

It almost feels like a film class had a homework assignment to write scripts for the show and they picked their favorite 6.

The production design was pretty good. The visuals were nice and the editing wasn't bad, although it didn't really add anything either.
