Liked: How the show’s take on pop culture is both random and weirdly specific
Solar Opposites takes place in an exaggerated version of our world, allowing its alien characters to experience a satirical but still familiar version of human pop culture: a restaurant where you sit around for hours smoking your own brisket, a Sprinkle Museum designed to lure selfie addicts, the off-putting vibe that oozes out of generic stock photography… it’s all skewed, but it all rings weirdly true. Isn’t there already Monopoly: The Wire Edition? If not, why not?
