Reviews (3)
Yet again, I had a good time and it made me think, but compared to the other episodes, this one seemed the weakest. It reminded me of all the political parties and movements that became popular by criticizing everything, until it turned out they didn’t have any actual solutions to offer themselves. ()
Waldo-rrific! At first, I thought that the inspiration (apart from the current mood of Western society) was, among other things, taken from the story of the mayor of Reykjavík. But it turned out not to be so, sadly, because it is the (un) conclusion out of spite not giving a damn about politics, the profit against the bear that somewhat scores an own goal. It is not clearly bad, only insipid, and it should have been completely different. ()
This episode dragged a bit, but it was definitely interesting and I was directly fascinated by how my sympathies gradually spilled over between the characters until I ended up hating just about everyone. ()
