Deep fake : la guerre des (fausses) célébrités

This was so dodgy. ITV2 as well. It wasn't on some hole of a channel you accidentally find at 4am when most shows are shopping channels and you want to find literally anything to watch.

It was on ITV2, in a slot previously "owned" by Family Guy for the last few weeks.

The show starts with some "legal disclaimer" crap which is obviously aimed at, or a genuine legal loophole to prevent the celebrities "involved", from suing them.

I hope they all sue them. Kim Kardashian is a hero of the modern era, they clearly have the means to deepfake her doing ANYTHING on Camera for clout. ANYTHING she wouldn't have done genuinely on camera. Disgraceful.

No but really, the visual side of the show was amazing, they clearly could have put absolutely any celebrity in absolutely any situation and it look real. If they had paid as much for the scripts/comedy as the deepfake element there's a tiny chance people would have been more forgiving.

Stella Street was better.

Phil Cornwall and John Session did a better job in the 1990s.

They played all the celeb neighbours between them. We had Micheal Caine, Joe pesci, al Pacino, Dirk bodgart, Jimmy hill. Keith Richards and mick Jagger ran the corner shop. There was a 1960s flashback special with the Beatles.

It's fascinating the length of technology nowadays. I think that deep fake concept could be used for fun, and in real life is getting scary.

I'm going to focus on the incredible amount of money and effort that obviously went into this project. Other than Ariana Grande being kind of bad in every sense, the rest is absurd and funny. Not in a "lol" kind of funny, but in the "beginning of a sitcom" kind of funny.

I see a lot of potential for this show, but i think they should be more daring... After all, you have every star in the world to participate. Kim's ass is huge...and there's no mention of it.

It should be a little more cheeky... Right?.

First things first. The technology is amazing, sinister bang up to date , whatever you want to describe it as . Where it goes horrendously wrong for this series is after the wonderment of this modern magic fades . The scripts and humour are awful , it's not so much a new slant on the neighbours from hell genre , more a heavily scripted attempt at a contrived humorous version and that's where it fails badly . The attraction of the dodgy neighbours genre is that it's real people and real situations . The spontaneous reactions and behaviour. The cringeworthy " that's just like" or " what an idiot , I'll bet so and so could be like that" . This series lacks that 100% because it's played and presented like a bad z list movie with a poor plot , it's like a short set piece within a bigger comedy show you sit through to get to the good stuff only they've decided to make a full show of. It's awful.

Impressive! The actors sound and move like the real celebrities, yet, in an intentionally overacting way - and that's so funny! Great ideia, greatly put into action. Loved it.
