Weird City (2019)
On-the-nose doesn't quite cut it.

The series has a potentially interesting premise, and the acting is... Passable, for the most part... There honestly isn't much to say about the series that's good.
To get to the core of the issue, this seems like a kid's first attempt at satire, not using a writing implement but a sledgehammer to shape it. There's no subtlety, no nuance. It's overbearing, in short. What it's not, is good satire, or good sci-fi, or a good series, even.
If you want good satire with a sci-fi tinge, watch The Orville. It's well acted, the characters are multifaceted, and while comedic, aren't complete pastiches of themselves.
