I am watching Obliterated on Netflix and WTF???? LMAO It's so surprising when something is actually good on Netflix, I'm only on the second episode. The most interesting thing is that I have no clue what will happen next. And I am surprised by the nudity, has there already been nudity in this way on Netfilx and I have just never seen any programe with it or is this as rare as I think it is?

My Review On Obliterated (Spoilers)
Critics described Obliterated as a "Teenage boy's fantasy. An action series filled with explosions, guns, naked breasts and penises". In all fairness, it was.
And I loved every second of it.
Anyone that's followed my blog, or any of my social media, knows I'm an avid follower of Shelley Hennig's work. Given, I only gave Obliterated a try because of Shelley. However, despite only coming for her, I stayed for everything else.
Right from the get go, Netflix defined Obliterated as an action-comedy that was never meant to be taken seriously. Despite that, the show was serious enough when it needed to be, and managed to find an appropriate divide between seriousness and comedy.
At face value, Obliterated seemed to be a cluster of Gen-Z toilet humour, jumbled together with softcore porn, but upon deeper inspection, it had a very real, very vivid story, and on top of that, something that alot of streaming service shows are missing these days - Subplots! That's right, tangents that move away from the main storyline. There was a time when we all thought this was a concept that died off with 22-episode network shows, but kudos to Obliterated for finding a way to introduce them. Whether it was Ava being more than a generic, forced-down-our-throats, bad bitch boss lady and actually secretly dealing with the death of her fiancé, all while leading a team of drunks to save Vegas, or the big, strong muscle-man having to come to terms with his sexuality, or even the no-nonsense sniper assassin learning that you don't have to be completely emotionless to be good at your job, Obliterated's characters did an amazing job of developing both a background-plot and actual character development. Something else that's been missing in newer 8-episode streaming service shows.
The final plot-twist was one of the best I've seen. We spent the entire season trying to figure out who the actual bad guy was. At times, it felt as though there was an invisible supernatural force threatening Vegas rather than a real person, due to the fact that every time the team caught someone, there was someone else ready to press the big red button and blow Sin City away. Introducing us to a dumb blonde TikTok-influencer who seemingly knew nothing about what's going on and allowing us to warm up to her, only for her to be revealed as the actual terrorist, was a genuinely mind-blowing piece of scriptwriting.
Overall, Obliterated managed to be irreverent, hilarious and of course, action-packed from start to finish. And if you like unfiltered sex, coarse language and romance, mixed together with explosions, an imaginary goblin and a terrorist threat to the United States of America (USA! USA! USA!) Mixed together with clever and innovative hints of comedy, I can't think of many other shows to recommend. I am eagerly awaiting Season 2.

The strike continues to prevent actors from talking about upcoming roles but there’s this, from Tommy Howell, about Obliterated. On Netflix in November.
From back in May: he hijacks the convo and throws Billy off with his dick joke. Full frontal on Obliterated? MAYBE!
SAG and the AMPTP meet again tomorrow. Fingers crossed they reach an agreement soon.
