"Don't Look Up" is pretty bad so far. Was it supposed to be good? I saw it trending.
It's so trite. It's in that uncanny valley of campiness for me.

Looked terrible based on the trailers and reviews so I didn't bother with it.
Not interested in a movie that's trying to teach people a lesson by making a clumsy metaphor poorly packaged up into an attempt at a dark comedy.
Netflix is churning out so much mediocre/bad content.

Netflix originals get way more hype than they deserve since so many people have it. Twitter users are probably disproportionately Netflix users too.
I watch a few of their original series (Ozark, The Umbrella Academy, The Witcher) but most of their content looks bad.

I recently binge watched all of Preacher and thought that was great so the bar is currently set quite high for dark comedies. Not enjoying the new season of Dexter as much as I thought I would but it's watchable. Certainly a lot better than how that Netflix movie looks though.

I thought the preacher was AMC? I haven't watched since s1. It was good. New Dexter is fun but agreed not it's best.

Yeah, it's AMC and Dexter is Showtime. I was just bringing those up because they're also dark comedies but not terrible. I got tired of Barry since it was too derivative but I probably would have enjoyed it if I hadn't already watched too many other takes on the same stuff.
