I feel like this was written by millennials. In what world would these people get a music contract, their action, the claims, the idealism of how the industry works...it's the writing< it's so bad. Shame because everything else is fine. There's two ways of looking at this, either you use it to show why writers today don't deserve the pay they claim, or you use it to show what you get when you don't pay for professional writers.ironically, it portrays an internet star trying to make his way in the "real" world of the music industry, while not being taken seriously by his peers. If this was made for YouTube, written staring and directed by a tuber then you could say it had potentials for such a person. To find out this had real producers, etc. Well! So my conclusion, is as the headline says "the wish version of Entourage" if you haven't seen entourage< skip this and go watch that, unless your particularly into the music scene, because Entourage is the actor version.

This is not Star Trek, its some pathetic imagining of the worst elements of all the worst of modern forced idealisms.

I have been a fan of all the treks for over 40 years. And this is just a sequence of dragging the most guttural of clichés from every part of the quadrant together to make a very forgettable, out of context waste of time.

I give it 2 stars rather than 1, because there is some good in it, the effects some of the acting, none of the actors are to blame...Well one is, one character will make you grind your teeth everytime she opens her mouth. She doesn't fit...please quit...go, leave, you are responsible for -5 of the 8 stars removed from this show. I'm certain I don't even have to name her...we all know who it is!

So apart from the terrible storylines, which admitedly do try to emulate some of the earlier TOS feeling, TOS did this for concession to budget and for technological reasons. This doesn't have that excuse while still trying to portray these forgiven expectations for its time, with a decent budget, and modern FX abilities there is no reason to do this.

But why I say this is not star trek! It's all the characters assemved to make the show.

You see Star Trek has always been woke, but woke in the right way!

What is wrong with the current super-woke movement this is embodying, is the way it wants everybody to be equal in all things and it does so by mere lies that we are. And it whitewashes over our beautiful and natural differences... Roddenberry's wondefully crafted and truthful way of being woke was to make all the characters as we truly are, with unique strengths and traits, sometimes weaknesses, same as Tolkien, same as even original Dungeons and Dragons when you assemble your party, you have requisites that are uniqur to each character. And he shown that by working together as a collective, a team, a crew of all these unique talents which everybody has at differing levels we can overcome all obstacles...we represent humanity as a collective of differences like a jigsaw of differing peices combine to the solution, you dont make an interesting jigsaw, whee all the pieces ate the same in both shape and picture.

Also the stories of TOS parodied the issues of the time to show how this works, racism, slavery, sexism, government overreach, fascism,addiction, war... Hell, he famously aired the first interacial kiss on TV, so don't assume I'm some conservative fuddy daddy, to me It makes total sense to ci tinue that tradition and any new star trek should follow in these steps with the similar issues people face today in prejudice and lack of empath for those with different lives and lifestyles, let's push those boundaries of conservative ideas of the previous generations...I'm all up for that!

But when the characters no longer have their unique talents and characteristics that they used to bring to the table, and every character is a scientist/fighter/engineer/expert in everything....you create a hot mess of nobody being essential to the crew, forgettable and replaceable.

Roddenberry proved that diversity in all its spectrum was humanities greatest strength, not clones of superheros, all with the same ideals, personalities and l abilities.

And this premise has been repeated in all star treks up until very recently with this fashion wokism which is sweeping the world were we have to deny our own eyes and experiences, where we pretend we're all exactly the same so that nobody brings an essential unique talent.

Of course it's hard to review a series, with its component episodes, of ups and downs, some will be enjoyed more than others. But season 3 has fell fowl of losing its way entirely. It's now less about a group of people, working together through a struggling football club. But now a generic relationship program, one of a billion. Throwing in any cliche they can to stay relevant. Instead of a fun show, taking the angle that you don't have to be cutthroat to win, but sometimes compassion, love and understanding of others can win the day. Now it's taking us on the tired same old moral stories, shove it in our faces that prejudice exists, same sex couples are now a thing. Pllllleeeeaasse. Ok...we know, we very program now on tv has that message, the originality of ted lasso, was that it was unique in its simple message. I won't be wantching as Eason 4, and I don't think many will. It's gone generic. Move along, nothing new to see here any longer.
