Wireless (2020)

Anything chosen to do instead of watching this would be time Monumentally better decision.

This is just another example of the deterioration of pretty much all things being shown on tv. I watch a lot of media and I'd say 8.5 times out of 10 the writing is just terrible. This is not one of those that has good quality. The characters are only believable if you think people are very stupid generally, which, with our current state of affairs in America that argument could justifiably be made but this I'm not a slice of life here. This is supposed to be an entertaining escape from reality that lasts about an hour and a half. The main character is cyber-stalking his ex while driving on a mountain. I understand talking and texting while driving but past that is kind of ridiculous. But so he then tries to take a shortcut bc his route was closed only to find another closed back road on a mountain in the middle of nowhere. While all this was going on he decided to edit his bio info on tinder and make a go at looking for love, again, all while driving. He does all of this and manages to connect to someone in about 3 minutes. But so he has to turn around bc his road is closed so he can get back to civilization. So he decides to begin this conversation with his tinder match all while doing this. So he's on a back road on a mountain in the middle of nowhere and he begins texting and driving which if you've ever done this then you'd know that you're not going to be just staring at the screen. You hit a few keys and then look up at the road. And you continue to do this. Not our "hero" here though thanks to the thankless efforts of these amazing new talents that brought you this waste of money. He's literally staring at his phone and waiting for a response as he manages to drive off the road. None of the choices by the characters are really believable at all. None of the characters are likable at all. The story is not a bad idea but coming up with the idea for a story is probably the easiest part about creating a tv show or film. After that, it seems to me that the writers just did not put any effort in to this. It bothers me when you see garbage like this on tv bc to me it feels like the writers believe the audience is almost completely brainless and that they will watch it and enjoy it simply bc it is on tv. Any writer who takes pride in their work would never put something out there like this that is so lazily put together and so poorly written. I can't say enough about how poorly this is written and how the only justice that could come out of is would be if the writers were blacklisted from the film industry and never got another job writing. Some people make the wrong careers choices and these people clearly did just that.
