Lady Dynamite

Sometimes, it's truly great, But mostly it just tries too hard.

Criminally underrated.

Let's surrender to the lamentable inevitability that most Netflix shows are just not capable of being good in a sustained way. They'll dumb it down, lay it on too thick, or play it safe according to what they think their target demographic wants. Momentary hints of artistic integrity - the way Midjourney AI is sometimes capable of making something sincerely weird & beautiful but for the most part, it's still a watered down imitation of real art. Mostly, this show is cynical & a little sadistic.
