    How about judging the series after it came out instead of judging a book by its cover? Even if the chances of it being good are slim, it still has a chance. And it would be awful to ignore an amazing series based on assumptions.

      It’s not about the book, it’s the profits will go to evil villains and no one needs to see this so bad that it’s worth it.

      They say capitalism can be managed by customers controlling their spending but people regularly put their own convenience above everyone else and so that never happens. Nestle doesn’t have to be good because people will still buy their garbage even if they printed “we stole the water to make this” right on the label.

      It’s just a TV show. If you can’t live without it then you’re completely broken.

        There are sites on the internet where you can download stuff in such a way that it will not profit anyone except maybe a VPN service.

      I think the joke is more like judging the book by its publisher than by its cover. I would be hyped if all we saw was the cover, but that’s probably also missing the point of giving the show a chance to either excite or disappoint.
