That looks fun.

That’ll teach ‘em to bring on Ernst Stavro Blofeld.

20 minutes in, and he fired a black female disabled person in a wheelchair. That's pretty on the nose. Too bad they didn't have any time to flesh out that character, or we'd have met her wife.

I've watched a few more of those episodes. When AI begins helping to write this pulp fiction for streaming services, it'll probably help make the characters more believable. "A supernaturally satanic consultant offers a struggling business owner immortality in the form of the success of his business, but only upon his death, which will be soon.". Chat AI could probably supply a better fleshing out of that idea than these writers. Which is not to say the writers are completely untalented, I just think highly of AI's abilities, and I don't have much good to say about the allegedly normal humans in the script and their allegedly understandable choices.

Don't waste your time on this one.

Waltz is great, and the rest of the cast is pretty good as well.

All this really needed was a comprehensible story.
