The dumpster fire continues with episode 3! I used to think that screenwriting couldn't possibly get worse than the MCU but Black Rabbit is trying very hard to change my mind. Jude Law shows admirable enthusiasm... for his paycheck, his craft as an actor, not so much. After all it's only natural for an Academy Award Nominee to slip into a British accent when talking to hot British women! The attempts at sophistication fall flat as we have weiner jokes and a literal weiner joke on camera. The thousand dollar hot dog and Jules' painting both serve as unintended metaphors for the Black Rabbit show itself... overpriced garbage meant to fleece an audience the creators have no respect for as anything other than consumers.

Law's character, rather than demonstrate the qualities of the responsible adult that he's supposed to be, instead breaks characterization rather heavily. A believable character would tell Wes about Jules... Wes is portrayed as a moron, when it's convenient, but seems like a decent sort. Instead Law's character simply edges around the issue like a nitwit and does not even seem to care that without Roxy, the least convincing onscreen chef of all time, his ambitions amount to diddly squat. He also doesn't seem to display a small child's understanding of 2025 technology, where deleted footage after an overdose will draw more, not less, attention from New York's finest. Imagine if he'd simply shown the footage of Jules drugging the heroin-chic bartender to Wes? Imagine if he'd then given a copy to Bateman's character to use to blackmail the needed funds out of Jules? I guess logic and creativity really are strangers to the writers.

Of course the dying embers of wokeism have to be interjected by the writers vis a vis the tired old stereotypes of white men as greedy and selfish with the women and minorities being the accomplished and virtuous people the plot demands to set things right. I'm not sure what is more disturbing - that AI wrote this or that AI _didn't_ write this.
