Customer Reviews
Love it
Love the show, it has an interesting take on the various topics it covers. It helps me make a decision if to invest time in a certain show, movie, concert and anything in between.
On the downside, I am a paid subscriber but lately I have been finding commercials breaks even if I would have expected not to have any.
high minded for the tiktok generation
they reviewed saltburn and called it Talented Mr Ripley mashed up with Parasite and immediately lost all credibility they might have been holding onto. no matter who is on the show, they insist on dealing away depth or meaning for bubbly banter that ultimately means nothing while patting eachother on the back.
