If there were a singular word to denote being buried alive while choking on one's own vomit, that would still be a merciful way to describe this digital dumpster-fire. First, Mel Brooks just isn't funny anymore...times have changed and he's just not relatable. Second, his racist, sexist bawdy humor WAS funny once upon a time...because it was acceptable. Trying to replace that with "woke" sermons does not make it funny. I gave this 2 stars because sadly there are several members of MadTV who apparently had nothing else going on. Just not worth watching...and it took a LOT to get through the first episode (and that's all they get from me).
The first and second seasons were thought-provoking, well-written and you almost believe there is a consultant on staff who lived in S Central LA that gave insight into life there as opposed to the typical Hollywood cliches. The background character studies were in depth for the principle cast and the sub-plot about the family issues made the series very 3-dimensional (although at times typically sappy and predictable as once would expect from a TV series). But in season 3, the show "jumps the shark" and becomes a typical mouthpiece for Hollywood elites, crying for "defund the police" and citing a police "war on our people" (the typical talking-points of the left) and forget about the actual depth of the previous character study. Watch the first 2 seasons...then pretend the rest don't exist.
This is one of the better Thai BL series; there's definitely an interesting plot (i.e. Not someone secretly lusting after someone else at school) and a lot of action sequences to keep interest. And it's very odd that the writer actually added actual Sicilian dialogue to this movie (albeit classless and racist, since there is literally no Sicilian mafia running Thai casinos..that would be the Chinese and Russians). Unfortunately, they got the WORST "pasticcione fiorentino" actor to play the role, who speaks Sicilian as bad as the character of Kinn speaks English (the words are correct, but mispronounced horribly). Other than that, interesting choice of casting and a lot of surprises if you stick it through.
