    I watched the first episode and 80% of the second of the CBS show "Cupertino" because Mike Colter is in it. I got 10 ads. 9 were all the same ad saying that James Talarico wants to imprison parents who refuse to transition their children. One was a cute ad explaining how to vote.

    OK. The new TV show Cupertino is clearly SFF, and it’s very likeable. It’s not deep, but it’s just … fun. It might make my Hugo ballot, just because the cast really sells it. I mean Mike Colter is at his best here, and casting legendary character actor Joe Morton as his dad is superb.

    There are ways of testing for these things that doesn't involve millions of dollars in marketing events (they did flew a bunch of tech influencers to Cupertino) and millions more in manufacturing (factories are expensive as hell).
