This thread's a little unusual if I say so, from the smattering of responses. About half are saying the content is too vulgar and nsfw... You don't really see people complaining about adult themes in services section, meta or even in gambling.
The problem is no that is vulgar, the problem is that it is only vulgar.
Family Guy was (was!!!!) funny and vulgar, some movies are action packed vulgar without sex, some really good scenes from moves are vulgar but still send a message.
This is just vulgar, I was watching it and only got a meh reaction.
Plus that scene about the double spending and the old card was like watching a raccoon trying to play Hamlet, it was simply too painful, so fake, I simply had to skip two minutes....
Yeah, some people don't understand art but this is not about art, this is a poor scenario that lacks a lot and the problem is I feel like it wants to send a message but even they don't have a clue how to send and what kind of message it is.
Bottom line, glad to see something trying to be done, disappointed on the results.
Fair points, all of them, and I hope the show's creator sees that. I recall how South Park's debut went and it got a lot of shellacking too, as did the first couple of episodes for GoT. Things are funny that way to me on first impressions. How so many cult favourites in film, music and art originally got nothing but ridicule and despise.
I didn't even really think it was a great first episode myself, but I suppose like Bitcoin adoption itself, you've got to gauge reactions and target audience well before releasing something like this into the wild.
Thanks for all the comments again, everyone;)
