Anthony Mackie stars in this bloody, quippy, self-satisfied adaptation of the ’90s Playstation games from Deadpool writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick
meets every other post-apocalyptic quest narrative pop culture has coughed up over the past five decades—a violent journey across desolate terrain, all in the name of survival. What’s worse is the way the creators wink-wink, nudge-nudge viewers through its 10-episode first season, as though tongue-in-cheek humor can compensate for a lack of originality.
When Quiet’s backstory comes out, midway through the season, it couldn’t be more apparent that a brutally hierarchical society all but forced her to become an outlaw. Also bad: police-state fascism, as extolled in Stone’s Bratton-worshiping monologues. Truly, where else in pop culture could a viewer find such searing social commentary?It’s shallow enough to feel disingenuous, and the flatness of the characters doesn’t help.
