It's weird, it feels kind of like watching a Japanese dub of an English-language show, which I haven't felt even with other adaptations of works originally in English. I guess it's because it also uses the visual language of the comic? Pretty luxurious cast, though.

Anyway, the writing isn't very good. A bunch of things just don't seem to make any sense; the dumb incident at the office it sends half the episode or so on, the whole deal with the rating of the protagonist's game by the streamer. Still not sure what the show is about, either, but I don't think I have the motivation to find out.

I will hate the game and the player, thank you very much. Even under this system, other choices could have been made that are neither illegal or financially nonviable, so Monsanto is very much responsible for the choices they did make. They're not victims of the systems, they're gleefully pursuing everything the system lets them get away with.

Of course, if you want things to change, it is indeed changes to law and government incentives that need to be pursued. But in order for that to happen, you need enough people to get upset about the current state of things, and for that you need concrete examples. And it doesn't get more concrete than this.
