Review of Moonhaven

Moonhaven (2022)
7/10

I was hating this show for the first 50 minutes or so until it dawned on me that it's about a cult on the moon. Wokeness seems to be a conscious plot device by the writers and is not just pandering to our times, I hope. I must mention that I am for "wokeness" in general but every show and film trying to be disneyesque is tiresome and trite.

The comments from the characters in the show about Utopia, Orwell, etc may be foreshadowing of what is to come and that the show will evolve to be a bit dystopian.

The occasional eye-rolls from "earthers" at the "moonies" way of talking/being almost make the show worth watching by itself.

I'll continue watching the show and hope the tone changes. With only 2 episodes out it is too soon to judge it.

I'm still muting it every time there is singing or chanting, though. That stuff is pure cringe.

Tentatively rating this show 6 out of 10. It could easily go either way.
