Netflix is just best when it gives rando no name directors money to make whatever they want. All their big projects are more useful for taste filters than entertainment.

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.
