Quibi Is a Vast Wasteland
Hollywood’s short-form entertainment app slices and dices the traditional mediocrity that the internet has allowed viewers to escape from.
One hazard of watching Quibi’s short-form TV shows is that you’ll want to check your phone a lot. As Chrissy Teigen hands down verdicts in ultra-petty disputes (for Chrissy’s Court, which is Judge Judy made by people who don’t realize Judge Judy is already camp) or as Liam Hemsworth struggles to make condominium development seem like the work of a sympathetic everyman (The Most Dangerous Game, a Facetuned ), your curiosity may spike regarding your text messages, or your emails from CVS, or the latest coronavirus havoc. What’s on-screen just isn’t worth a full two eyeballs.
