I was excited seeing another Pendleton Ward animation, but after watching the first 2.5 episodes I lost all interest. It’s full of pseudo intellectual conversations about religion, existentialism, drug use, etc. I’m all for the latter two topics of conversation especially, but this show really had no idea wtf they’re talking about regarding any of it. It’s basically a very poorly done rip off of the brilliant film, Waking Life. Also I’d like to note that I rarely give up on finishing a show before judging it, but this was the exception. It’s sooooo bad.

PS. I’d like to add the actual animation, atmosphere of the scenery/planets/dimensions, and the gore gratis were pretty stellar. It’s the subject matter and format of the show itself that’s so terrible.

@todkon "I’m all for the latter two topics of conversation especially, but this show really had no idea wtf they’re talking about regarding any of it."<br /> <br /> Can you provide examples of what you found incorrect and then explain how it could be improved?<br /> <br /> To be sure, a "pseudointellectual" pretends to be smarter than they are. You can talk about things in which you don't know everything or the topic is considered serious or deep colloquially, and still speak to your understanding of it.<br /> <br /> Waking Life has meant more to me than any singular film, and it has its fair share of "empty" or "out there" sequences and conversations. I don't take every line as a mockery of what could have been said nor as gospel. Other creators are allowed to explore how they present conversations, and Linklater is far from the first to present a kind of flowing surrealism while people are talking.
