The War Between the Land and the Sea [Adventure, Sci-Fi, Fantasy]

Trailer looks like this MIGHT be good.

That species originates from the Doctor Whoniverse - I hope there won't be any Doctor Who here.

Urgs.... terrible. Tried to get through episode 2... but I can't. All of the people and dialogs are sooooo terrible.

It's kind of clear already from the image above that it has like 87% chance to suck.

Edit: For shits & giggles started to watch E01, yes, it's pure Disney's woke cringe, not counting all subtle bs before that, in the 9th min I loled at "Homo Aqua" Must police the language, cannot offend sea devils

Edit 2: Change the genre to comedy and it's great - S01E01 26:43 "don't refer to them as male", ahahaahhaa

Yeah, the end of E02 escalated fast. So, the gender fluid fish actually can clean up oceans at the fraction of the time and cost, why not dump all that plastic at some recycling plant? Why all that drama? Also, if they want all waterways it means we can tax them for usage of artificial human made waterways like Suez canal or swim around Africa?

Actors don't need to be good, they need to be diverse and they are.

Scripts write lunatics. Who tell them that they suck? Nobody, because it's a safe space They all have slept at math and physics, that's why they always have 1+1=11 and also this time missed the tiny issue that in the next meeting spot under the ocean is a tiny issue called... a pressure We did not pick up that Titanic not because we don't want, we simply can't

I'm sorry, but I am in complete agreement with these thoughts and already thought this could be a major waste of time for me.  I can't see it yet (I would need to wait for Disney+ in 2026) here in the USA and I am SO VERY, VERY glad!  Thank you guys so much for saving me time, and it seems, my sanity!  I am removing this show from my Next list right now.  My most sincere apologies to all that worked on the show.

I also have thought about it. It's impossible that ALL of them are in such isolated bubble that nobody understands that it's a total garbage. I think simply wins "need to pay the bills" and they play along. And I already long ago have predicted that once this woke circus will go out of fashion we will hear hilarious stories from behind the scenes - when those people will be able to speak freely and won't worry about their job security (because now they for sure are worried, since tolerance preachers are nowhere close to tolerant).

Yep, for ALL that we got a 4 hour worth of sub-standard Splash with guns

This is a teamwork BBC + Disney. Also I don't think that any of this by default is some gov synchronized effort, because it's all over the place and has a strategic stupidity. It's simply vegan like preaching and screeching idiots thinking that they do good. But more often than not they just make things worse, because... they are stupid. Like in this case let's take a look at oceans pollution/plastics stuff. It's a real and serious issue. What this lunacy will achieve? Somebody will start to care what is being dumped into oceans, enters food chain and ends up floating in every organism? Nope, all this will achieve is that further attempts to address this issue will have an association with raging lunatics.

BBC is protected by law from gov influence, the same problem is in almost every other developed country. There are mechanisms to protect freedom, but nobody saw coming that those who are protected will hit their heads hard. Exact same we have in my country, gov funded media agency instead of an objective reporting has "opinions" and obviously are leaning in a certain direction. And if somebody points that out, they start to screech like crazy that their rights are being infringed lala. How all this will end also is clear, at least for a while we all will enjoy wannabe-Adolf regimes who will come to power by simply doing/promising the opposite, I saw this coming already 10 years ago, since it's a pretty basic math. Pendulum just will swing to the other side and overshoot. That's why in my book all these woke efforts are absolutely idiotic, they don't solve anything, just create a mountain of new issues on top of existing. And they think that they are so sneaky and clever that nobody will notice non-stop stream of bs injections while in reality most of the time it's such propaganda amateur hour that it's an insult to an intelligence. You can check Twitter today what is their new hot "world saving" topic today and max 6 months later it will be in some show 1:1.

Also, the irony that this virtue signaling even is in English. That's the usual 1+1=11.

Nice conspiracy theory, if somewhat dimished by the amount of people in the "regime" who are actually less happy with the way these things are going than the actual population.

Here's a different one, relying less on active pressure from anyone, and simplified:

The "west" has had a fairly long time without major wars or famine, so lots of people started asking questions secondary to survival, such as "when is it okay to be an asshole?". Turns out "never" is the only answer you can give without risk of seeming like, y'know, an asshole, so the consensus has been inching towards that. There are still lots of people in the world for whom not being allowed to be an asshole would be a challenge to their worldview or even way of life. So, some of those have started trying to convince as many others, who wouldn't otherwise care, that they are in the same boat. The resulting "faction" starts looking a lot like one of those who, historically, were pretty quick to actively interfere with the operations of public broadcasting. Because of that, most of the people working in that sector feel disinclined to help them with anything: It would be directly against their own interests. The faction is also, despite appearances for those involved, not a majority, meaning most corporate media will also not hop on that cause, as they have less to gain from that than from attempts (however hamfisted) to appeal to all kinds of different niche audiences.

Back to the actual show... this really didn't need to exist. It was basically an overlong episode of Doctor Who, slightly above average quality as of recently, because it showed some people at least sometimes being competent at their job.

They all but said it in the last episode that the basic idea was "what happens when the Doctor doesn't show up" and the answer they came up with is apparently "we fuck it all up". The environmental stuff was pretty much just window dressing, it didn't matter much to anything in the end and could have been addressed less.

Weirdly enough, I think this might have been improved by simply removing both protagonists.

It wasn't really bad, but it didn't need to exist.

Yes, it's a conspiracy theory when I have researched something and come to a conclusion but then at the same time the system has existed for hundreds of years as you point out but really what makes the media extremely similar with the same modern liberal points repeated again and again and again is just an implementation of "Don't be an ass", you really have to wonder why that slogan didn't result in the same outcome just 20 years ago.
