@lotherio said in Good TV:
I was good with it near the beginning even with the mods looking half as much like the mods in 60s UK as much as a cyber gang
My issue wasn't that that the Cyborg Mod Squad existed, because again, I could totally have seen them existing on Coruscant or whatever with no issue. But I ask again for the ages: Tattooine? The fuck? These young kids with the disposable income to dress in high fashion and buy shiny, brightly colored mopeds and get cybernetic limbs and shit are just...hanging out on Tattooine, a dust ball ridden with crime, described by Luke as the place furthest from cool possible. Right.
It is just glaringly out of place aesthetically and logically. The most infuriating example of what I mean is when they meet the ripper doc or whatever and Boba asks the guy why he is leaving the internal parts exposed and the dude is like "because that's awesome" like a complete fucking moron even though they are ON A PLANET COVERED IN SAND which would wreak utter havoc to said parts, literally one of the first fucking few lines in New Hope is C-3PO complaining about how all the sand will freeze his joints.
It's just pants on head stupid and amateurish, and proof they didn't stop and think about what they were filming for five minutes, which is how the entire season comes off to me.
If they wanted to have some Cyberpunk in their Star Wars, there was a blatantly better example of the right aesthetic right there: the Nomads. Like, come on now.
The finale was real dumb, imo to probably the surprise of no one, haha. I liked the intentionally comedic moments, that Twi'lek guy is just pure gold, but otherwise it was full of more just purely silly or poorly executed crap. Bah.
