I generally don't like meta episodes like the jokes in the show reflects on the real cast and writers. The self awerness usually ruin it for me. R&M did it well with the train episode, but I didn't like it too much here. Not only that, the entire advertising if Hulu was a bit much.
I mean the idea is great, they tried to tell us, the audience, that times are changed and the world have changed with all the pc, me too, gender awerness, etc. And showed even a bit of concern. Also that they laugh at themselves with all the reboots and breaks. But I just didn't like how it was served. I wish it was an interview and not an episode (they laughed about that as well with the "that's too smart joke) and just write an episode like the know, without being afraid of all the pc and do on.
It wasn't bad I still enjoyed it, but as I said it felt to meta and self aware for my taste.
Any one feels the same?
I'm starting to wonder what the fuck is going on at Hulu's writing offices because Solar Opposites is also filled with jokes about Hulu.
And so did the Animaniacs reboot. I'm sensing a trend. Or maybe just a coincidence.
