Questionable Approach

It’s somewhat off putting that they chose to trivialize a real story into a “Feel Good Middle Age White Guy” redemption story will over the top silliness. If they were going to use a real person’s name they should have tried to honor his story.
Good Idea, Poor Execution

Corvus Anduril

Great idea for a series, and as always with QCode- the performance is impeccable. I think this show drags on with not enough events happening to keep the show interesting. I also wish they took the show a little more seriously. There are too many parts where the show is trying too hard to be funny/goofy.
Brilliant!
