    It’s true. Part of the point the video was making is that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with cheap thrills. But (he says), it’s a little weird for the cheap thrills to be the subject of the network’s greatest investment of money into anything to date, and dressed up in all the trappings of a super-blockbuster tentpole offering, and based supposedly) on powerful source material which is anything but cheap thrills and in fact makes a poignant and compelling point in the exact opposite direction, saying that cheap thrills against the backdrop of a dying world can be a poisonous distraction.
