I recently watched another life, and if I were to judge those people as though they were people I could be friends with, I’d hate all of them and probably try to dump them out an airlock. Their reactions are wildly over the top and just unrealistic.
But as a show, I really enjoyed the constant soap-opera-style ramping up of stakes and events. It was just nonstop poor decisions resulting in drama.
It got canceled after the second season so I’m guessing I was in the minority about enjoying the presentation…
or when people analyze fictional characters as if they were real people and not storytelling devices…
This one can be a very useful bit of media analysis, but yeah it’s not great that it’s becoming the default.
