From what I saw, the previous reboot was fine, even if it made the supernatural more directly "real" consistently which is a significant thematic change from the older shows.
It's too bad that :frothingfash: vomiting :us-foreign-policy: tantrums everywhere will make any non-chud criticism of the most recent show almost impossible without being associated with the :frothingfash: , but maybe that is the point.
From what I read about it, it seems to be a le drugs (as in, no more Shaggy "snacks" subtleties) and le sex pestery edgy reboot that it seems no one asked for and no one wanted, but because it pressed the right chud provocations button it has protection from criticism.
This is the kind of liberalism I hate the most (diversity in shitty content) because it's hard to critique on the merits. At least things like queer POC CIA operatives are fairly straightforward to critique (I hate all CIA operatives and the CIA is bad no matter who's there), but when it comes to art the additional subjectivity makes things harder.
I still haven't watched and probably won't unless comrades here make a strong case.
