Book jacket blurbs are often not from reviews but from requests made to sympathetic, notable parties who are asked to read the book and provide quotes. In the publishing industry, it is very much a case of mutual back scratching.

Perhaps they used that as their model.

Doesn’t that seem bizarre? Searching for those quotes on the internet nothing comes up. It might be innocent but it seems like something an executive producer would do…it suggests a blurred line between critic and creative team member that at the very least breaks the norm for most genres…

Anyway, hard to get invested in this (yet, at least). Hopefully the next trailer they release will forego the hype blurb route and offer up something of real interest.
