Cake (2019–2021)
3/10
I wish I could tell you this was good.
13 February 2020
The premise excited me when I heard about it. It seemed like it'd be a Sundance-in-mini-form anthology. However, it is not. At best, the content is uncomfortable, which is never bad. Uncomfortable has its place in art and entertainment. But at worst, this show is a big cringe. In between those two polarities, the show is grating. But for me, the cringe far outweighs the interestingly uncomfortable parts, and the grating nature just makes what good there is here very difficult to watch.

Additionally, I ended up doing some work for some segments (via the network, not individual producers/production teams) on the accessibility end. They didn't give us any materials to help us make this show accessible, to say the least. I don't think they care. It really makes me think they're churning these out just to churn 'em out in hopes of going viral or getting a cult following. But I don't think it'll happen.
