As noted in comments, it’s quite an achievement to fail to draw the 19-35 male demographic with lesbian space witches.

“Even a corrupt media couldn’t save it.”
The marketing campaign was bad. The trailers explained almost nothing about the characters and their situation. I would wager most men didn’t even know about the lesbian space witches.
Maybe they should have advertised “Direct from the binders of the procurer for Harvey Weinstein: LESBIAN SPACE WITCHES!”. They should have gone with LSW for the title and trimmed the costume budget by 90% and gone for some Good Jedi/Bad Jedi one on one action with the main character and put it on Hulu rather than D+, and they might have gotten some viewers. For the first episode.
I didn’t watch, and haven’t paid much attention to the critics or the excerpts, but I expect the LSWs weren’t particularly attractive and only charitably recognizable as women.
When I saw a clip of someone trying to put out an open flame fire in space, I knew not to even bother.
Awesome review and critique by Leonard Pinth-Garnell (the second)…
Fortunately, I don’t get nor pay for Disney+ (or minus).
Imagine going to a show advertising lesbian space witches and actually having to watch a show about lesbian space witches. What a ripoff.
Just what I was thinking. Advertise “lesbian space witches” and the usual thinking (or at least it would have been a few years ago) is the porno version of lesbians.
As opposed to being somewhat closer to how many lesbians act in real life.
I.e., much more talking about politics and much less actual s*x of any sort.
Possibly the 18-35 male demographic has wised up on advertising. At least where certain advertisers are concerned – they’re likely still naïve about advertising in general.
