Santa Inc. (2021)
Blatantly Racist and Sexist Garbage
Early on the show makes it anti-white racism and misandry evident by accusing Santa and his workshop of being, "Too male and too white." From there it just gets worse with acting that's cheesy at best, a story that I'm positive Rogen wrote while high, and disgusting humor that failed to make me even crack a smile. If I wanted to see the sort of "humor" in this show, I would have watched some Xmas-themed adult video.
Rogen and Silverman can scream "ANTI-SEMTISM! ANTI-SEMITISM!" on social and mainstream media all they want. But the simple fact is this show is just offensive, boring, and poorly written.

Easter Egg: Tribute to The Neuromancer
The name of the driver, Gibson, is a direct tribute to the author of the novel The Neuromancer, William Gibson. The ultimate fate of Gibson when his car goes berserk is similar to what the antihero of the novel, Case, suffered prior to the story. These subtle nods to a novel released four years prior was a nice nod by the writer.
Most people who claim this episode had nothing to do with the larger Boomer narrative seem to miss that the car itself is a Boomer of sorts. Increasingly augmented with cybernetic hardware and then attached to Gibson's own mind, it suffers the same sort of psychotic break that other (non-S-Class) Boomers do when they achieve sapience. It's just another example of how dangerous AI is in the larger world of BGC.
