Tater’s Thoughts
Another good night for watching a movie or catching up on shows.
You made an interesting point yesterday saying that critics didn’t understand Ted lasso. How often do we think critics are “right” about what they’re critiquing?

Not often. I think critics tend to forget how “real” people are watching or reading.
My favorite example of this is one critic who reviewed a comedy and mentioned in the review that they laughed out a lot during the movie, but didn’t give it a good review score for to other things it didn’t do. They forgot that a comedy is supposed to make you laugh. Did you laugh? Isnt that the point?

I guess with an abundance of critics people try to be different. That’s in general a bad thing
