When is satire not exactly satire? To my mind, its when it ends up acting, to one degree or another, as an apologist, for the thing, is claims to be humorously, critiquing.

Suffice to say, I've long had a mixed opinion of SP. I find its satire luke warm at best and this tepid affair, is no exception.

A lot of the woke pandering we see in entertainment, is driven by the UN (yes I'm not kidding) grounded standards called Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ratings. They lay down woke rules, often driven by big business financiers, who act as fiscal banker, watch dogs, making it hard for content creators who want to take a more traditional approach, to entertainment.

None of which seems to have been mentioned here, as far as I can see?

In short, light of laughs and as I see it, there's a certain irony, with regards to "pandering". Watch and see if you agree.
