I knew not to even bother.You are far more patient than us. We didn't even get that far. I think we turned it off after about 10 mins.
Mad at myself for how much time I wasted on Fubar...

Doubtful. Focus group testing used to be the norm but it is costly and delays any revenue benefits. The approach today seems to favor throwing anything against the wall and see what the market thinks.I’m sure they do panel tests before releasing shows.
My 2c on Barbie here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/what-movie-are-you-watching.1069107/post-32344377I was ok with it and can be tolerant but it’s a disappointing finale for sure. I never did like the main character and any plot just unraveled. To be fair it’s the first series I made it through on atv plus.
That said I feel like we’re in a rut. Most services not part of something like prime are paused for me. There’s definitely a lack of good tv. Can’t wait for college sports. Been watching YouTube mostly.
Took my daughter to see Barbie. If not for her I’d have walked out. So boring. How is it doing so well? I didn’t care about messages or politics, it was just boring to me. As was flash. As was guardians. Indy. Just subpar.
Not my typical post on the matter.
I started watching Hijack on TV+. I shut it down after 30 mins of episode 1. The level of sloppy writing is just off the charts. Spoilers ahead. Not only I have to believe that someone that finds a bullet left by a terrorist in the airplane restrooms (an already sloppy tension creator plot device) but that she just tells a random stranger (which surprise… is a terrorist l!) and not any of the crew. Then, and this is where I shut it down yelling at the screen, I have to believe that in a post 9/11 world a pilot who knows what is going on in the airplane (and even says that if the terrorists get in they will all die) decides to open the secure and bulletproof cockpit’s door - after fighting and beating up his female copilot to a pulp - because a crew member is also his secret lover and tells him “I love you please open the door.” And I hope that the pilot doesn’t turn up being a terrorist too because that would be even sloppier.
Just lazy writing.
You'd be really angry to learn how it ends:
"Is there a doctor on board" apparently doesn't apply to pilots in the Hijack world, because it's not the first officer (sole remaining pilot on board who has a pulse) who lands the plane, but the "aviation consultant" who comes out of nowhere and kills the captain in the penultimate episode. And secures immunity for doing so.
I am really angry at the motivation for the hijacking. You'd expect it to be something political. But no...You'd be really angry to learn how it ends:
I agree... I sometimes skip the aliens and go with the wall.The wall segments are often more interesting than the A plot. The wall could be it's own show.
