Just when we thought that Netflix and Dharma had made something that was merely mediocre and not downright terrible, The Fame Game, in its final episode, burst our bubble.
We discuss the new mystery series’ inept plotting, lack of insight into the film industry and the cult of stardom, and its problematic tendency to look down on the audience.
We also wonder if it was a wise move for Madhuri Dixit Nene to make her streaming debut with something this irrelevant, and what artistic statement Dharma is trying to make about celebrity culture.
