“A bit disappointing compared to expectations. This thing feels simultaneously a little overproduced and underproduced, with the glossy audio transitions contrasting with the microphone quality generally not being what you’d expect for a production backed by Condé. Puja is a fine host, and I’m sure with different guests and topics she’ll adapt fine, but the first episode of this felt very awkward and lacking in personality, especially for a topic so in the moment as TikTok. The short episode length didn’t really help either, with it feeling like the show ended when they ran out of things to cover for discussion rather than just pulling their own conclusion. Overall, it seems like an okay jumping off point, but I do hope they make steps in a looser direction or at least make the show something that feels owned by its hosts.”
