Well this isn't going to be an Adult Swim show like you think. It's still aimed at families, only reason it's on Adult Swim is because CN is expanding AS to start at 7pm now

>Originally announced with a two-season order, the all-new kids and family animated series follows the action-packed, comedic, and romantic adventures of Superman and Lois Lane during their early years together. The move comes on the same day that Adult Swim announced that it would begin its programming night at 7 pm beginning May 1st. The animated series was originally intended to air on Cartoon Network and HBO Max

I really liked the first three episodes. Never saw a trailer, or knew of the book, but a few minutes into the first episode I knew it was something that I would enjoy. Great split between character building and the overall mystery and drama. I was laughing hysterically when Dusty got his purpose. Definitely looking forward to the fourth episode and seeing where the story leads from here.

Watched the first three episodes. In my opinion it's quite good, and unsuspectingly multi-layered.

It enters a fictional world that doesn't exist, but mimics reality.

What's happening in the show can't really happen in reality, but yet it does.

I think the machine leaves much to be interpreted, but the user sees it as very single faceted.

The personal information required certainly raises some eyebrow.

Is it gathering person and physical information that's building a bigger machine to make more accurate predictions?

Or is there some ill intent by a third party?

I just want to tell Dusty that just because you "reached your potential", it doesn't mean you've realized your potential. If your card said "astronaut", it wouldn't be any greater. There is no hierarchy of jobs, or hobbies, or careers. It's a facade created by society. If your potential is a teacher/whistler, it means your practice as a teacher/whistler has a tremendous impact on those who you teach, or those who hear you whistle. It means that just hearing you whistle bring joy to so many peoples lives. And the trickle down affect of the students you teach is far more impactful than you realize.

Anyway, I think the show is pretty thought provoking, and also has its funny and playful moments.

I give it an 8.1 out of 10. (my Morpho card said "movie critic")

Lasso isn't depressed, he's dealing with anxiety. Jason isn't depressed, he's just dealing with a a lot of life shit. Jimmy is probably depressed with his wife dying, but to answer your question, mental health is very relevant to current societal trends. Something not talked about for so long is bubbling over to be talked about. It makes sense.

Because reddit likes to forget that publicly owned companies have a non-negotiable fiduciary obligation to maximize profits for shareholders. If they don't, leadership replaces them with someone who will.

People think leadership is disconnected from what the audiences want but in reality it's the audiences that are disconnected from the business operation and how it works.

> If the Tories were that hated they wouldn't keep getting in.

While I do absolutely lament the lack of any critical thought in the UK electorate over the last 13 years...

The Tories got back in the last several times because they harnessed the idiocy of Brexit and Labour proceeded to completely shit the bed at the same time, not because people suddenly thought the Tories had good policies.

I personally know multiple family members that in 2014 wouldn't have pissed on a Tory if they were on fire, to then vote for them in successive elections because they made Brexit their ideology.
