In an Instagram post, actress Jessica Chastain weighed in on Apple’s decision to pause the release of her series “The Savant” (Chastian is also executive producer) on its Apple TV+ streaming platform. Jessica Chastain via Instagram:
Seem incongruous. Almost as incongruous as The Savant‘s lazy choice of villain. Imagine if The Savant instead had a realistic villain, ripped straight from today’s headlines or from two weeks ago? Then “the Savant” would actually be relevant, but, of course, that wouldn’t reinforce “THE MESSAGE.” Some language in the following video may be NSFW (depending on where you work): Being able to read the room is a pretty important skill for anyone, especially is your job is to product entertainment that will appeal to as wide an audience as possible. That means having your finger on the pulse of modern culture and understanding how people are feeling, what they like and dislike, and what issues are important to the them right now. Which is what Apple TV spectacularly failed with the release of their first trailer for “The Savant,” a new show about — and I kid you not — a middle-aged white Karen who uses online censorship and surveillance to tackle “right-wing extremism” in America (laughs). Congratulations, Apple, I do believe you’ve cracked it! You have officially won the “Boy, Did We Back The Wrong Horse” award for the most tone-deaf, out-of-touch production in recent memory. – The Critical Drinker Support MacDailyNews at no extra cost to you by using this link to shop at Amazon.
