Netflix Just Released The Worst Episode Now I’m Ashamed I Ever Recommended This Show

Posted by Joshua Tyler | Published 51 seconds ago

One of the funniest scenes we ever put on film happened in the Chevy Chase/Dan Aykroyd comedy. Spies Like Us. The two, playing smart spies, arrive at a Doctors Without Borders camp, and all it takes to convince the people there that they belong is to call everyone “Doctor” over and over again. It’s a fun, silly way to poke fun at the pretend PhDs and limited intelligence of our heroes.

Now imagine that the sixty-second episode stretches over sixty minutes, is played with seriousness instead of comedy, and Chevy Chase’s character is replaced by a poorly rendered deer in a top hat. That’s what happens in season 2 episode 7 of the Netflix pirate show One piece. Aptly titled “Reindeer Shames,” it may be the single worst hour of programming ever released to broadcast, and in some ways the first episode of the broadcaster’s best new show.

Since I haven’t seen episode 7 yet, and since I’ve enjoyed the first season and all of the previous six episodes of season 2, I’ve been giving it a half-hearted recommendation. One piece to everyone I know. Now, not only do I retract that recommendation, I’m not sure I have the energy to continue watching the final episode of season two.

One Piece Fans Have Been Waiting Over Two Years For The Time Out

Quick disclaimer: I love anime and watch it a lot. Like 99% of the people who watch the Netflix show, however, I have never watched the anime version One piece. I’ve mostly avoided it because there are thousands of episodes, and that seems exhausting, but also because even its most ardent defenders tend to admit that many of those episodes are essentially time-wasting filler.

I One piece The anime’s obsession with time-wasting filler episodes may explain the presence of “Animal Shame” in the Netflix version, a plot that does not involve the original characters of the game. The story also really has nothing to do with any narrative being developed throughout the season.

That might be a welcome departure for a series with thousands of episodes, but in the modern age of lazy streaming, we only get eight episodes every two or three years instead of a dozen a year. Wasting one of those precious episodes on anything not directly related to what’s going on in the show would be a bad idea, even if it was good in some way. If it’s this bad, it sounds like a crime.

An Obvious Cost-Cutting Measure From Netflix

“Reindeer Shames” tells the story of a Doctor who runs into a country where Doctors are rounded up for the odd reason of doctor roundups. The Doctor meets a small, talking reindeer that looks like it just fell off the shiny shelf of Toys R Us during the 1997 Christmas holiday rush. Or he could look like that if the CGI used to bring him back to life doesn’t look like he came from 1997.

It seems clear that at least part of Netflix’s motivation in making this episode was a way to cut costs. Some episodes of the show look great, with top-notch special effects and great action sequences. However, “Reindeer Shames” usually take place in an unremarkable tree or a single hut and provide a few seconds, with a heart that is part of the action at the end. And again, it doesn’t include the show’s original cast, which means Netflix paid them for seven episodes while still producing eight.

Netflix Opens Its Learning Center

This has all the scam artists. Making your subscription-paying audience wait two and a half years for eight episodes and calling one of them the broadcast version of the Minnesota Learning Center.

The talking deer is called Chopper, and I’m told by Jonathan Klotz, who I consider an expert on all One Piece stories, that this character is a popular character in the animated version of the story. Maybe he’ll grow into that later in the Netflix series, assuming the grief of this exit doesn’t cause the show to be canceled. Still, he’s still trash in this episode, and plays like a clumsy, half-baked attempt to create a Baby Yoda in a world where everyone is dying of Baby Yodas.

Stop Watching One Piece Unless Under Doctor’s Supervision

Instead of bringing a kind of pirate adventure One piece viewers are primed, the episode meanders along, regurgitating endless speeches about how amazing and important the Doctors are. Doctor this and Doctor that, and oh, aren’t Doctors wonderful angels who don’t do this job just because they like to buy Corvettes and hang out at country clubs.

Living in “Reindeer Shames” made me want to One piece it was on YouTube instead of Netflix, so it wouldn’t be interrupted by an Incogni ad. In that area of ​​funding being worse than streaming, I think Chopper, since he’s not the Doctor and only wants to be one, is the worst thing about it. That’s a hopeful point for the Doctor’s continued presence on the show, which seems like something I’ll have to put up with if I muster up the doctor-like courage to watch another one. One piece episode. Probably not, at least not without a Doctor’s supervision.
