Hey, remember that time Russia attacked the west?
Yeah, me neither...
But if you were to judge Russians based on american and British movies, and tv shows, you'd think that's all Russians do, start wars with UK and USA...
Then again, if you were to judge my country based on american and British movies, you'd think that all women here are prostitutes, and all men are huge brutes, yet, I live in one of the safest places on the planet, even according to us government trip advisory.
I decided to watch this, cause Simon Pegg was in it, and I must say, this was so bad, I'm now questioning my affinity to watch his stuff... like, what in a world was this?!? Does he seriously not understand that he has fans all around the world, and not just in UK establishment? How could he be part of this offense?
While I was watching this mess, I kept wondering to my self, who is this propaganda aimed at, no one can possibly buy into any of this... but then I came here, and saw a review by someone claiming that this is the best (and apparently first) tv show they've ever seen. Judging that review by the show's gauge, you'd have to think that the writer is a Russian troll, fortunately, they proceeded to say things like "all characters are likable" - the main character mopes and whines, and sighs throughout entire show, or that they are all believable - they all look basically prepubescent, so, who ever wrote that, was clearly being facetious.
All the plots are utterly nonsensical, and Russians appear to wield technology that is decades ahead of anything west has, like, having cameras all over gchq at basically ever angle. Despite that, all these Russians who have built all that tech, are actually against their president, who is actually easily the most popular president of any country around the world, but yeah, they all just wait for the opportunity to betray their own country, and once they do, despite all that tech, no one figures out that they have committed treason, Russians have no time for figuring out traitors, they are to busy being you know, not 5 moves ahead, but 5 whole chess matches ahead their enemy...
I think one of my favorite moments was in first episode, when american plant in gchq, states that it's too early for real people to be complaining that due to internet being down, they can't access their own money, like, how soon is too soon for that one, so she is like "the Russian bots are complaining" - basically it's not too soon to conclude that they are Russian bots... based on what? At the same time, as soon as she tweets, pesky Russians also know that she is gchq troll. You see, no one who tweets is a real person, they're all trolls
It's also funny that Pegg himself was ranting in one video about Sunak saying that kids should be learning math until they're 18, to what he took offense, he was like "I went into arts, and I quit math as soon as I could" - like, everyone who at 13 thinks they're gonna go to arts is gonna succeed in it, wouldn't that be a world to behold, but one of the preteens in the show is an artist, and, you guessed it, a math genius...
Maybe he filmed that video to say "I disagree with everything in the show you'll see in the future"... anyway...
They even do that thing, when you can tell right away if any current scene is happening in uk or in Russia, cause in Russia, colors look all drab and dreary, even the mansion of the preteen who plays Russian hacker, even tho his parents are supposed to be rich, looks gloomy, and everyone is dressed brown, and the only splash of color in entire Russia, is screaming blue dress of uk woman from a Russian funded uk tv station...
Apparently there's more sun in UK than in Russia, there, now you know...
Seriously, it's that transparent...
I don't know, maybe it's cause I'm actually from the third world (or, the global majority as is the modern politically correct term for us) but it feels to me like entire west, but mostly usa and uk, are still stuck in the cold war, while the rest of the world has moved on, and this show is a sad reminder of just how stuck they are...
It is weird to be here in the third world, watching the first world with pity... oh well...I guess that's just where we are now...
Yeah, me neither...
