Nice review.
Wasn't it the Dave Chapelle special that had a 98% rating from the audience but only 13% from critics because he made jokes about transgenderism.
I never take the critics reviews seriously.
As with anything, you gotta ask "who pays the bills."
I don't know as much about movie/TV journalism, but I do know a bit more about the games industry. And in that industry, it's not the consumers who pay the bills for the reviewers, it's the game publishers and developers. Because they pay the ad revenues and they control who gets access to early review copies and exclusive events.
So if movie/TV critics are anything like that, then their job is to please the Hollywood execs, not provide accurate information to consumers.

Makes sense to me. Follow the money, right?

That's a perfect example. Dave Chappelle always says how it is, and the old money doesn't like that.
