This could have been quite good. As a black comedy, there was a lot of potential. Unfortunately, as is so often the case with the Western media, this film has had the life sucked out of it by "the message". All flavours of "the message" are front and centre, humorlessly silencing, any potential for genuine black humour. Its a true shame too, because the book this is based upon, is pretty decent, as is the cast they have brought together, for this production. Regrettably, entertainment comes a distant second to lecturing, leaving only a dry husk in its wake. In summary, no amount of quality acting can overcome this incessant need to inject what is essentially, politicised woke messaging, into films and series. Its akin to being in a weird version of the USSR, where entertainment always has a political subtext. A solid pass from me.
