Netflix: The Order

Since apparently this show is currently #3 most watched on Netflix I figured I would throw together a thread.

I am pretty blind here, all I know is it’s got magic and werewolves and most likely a ton of SJW nonsense, since it’s a Netflix original.

I’m gonna run this as an SJW drinking game. I missed my shot with the Sabrina reboot, so I’m going to lay out some rules to go along with my 1.75L bottle of Costco vodka and make updates each episode.

Let’s see if Netflix can kill me.

Shots per ’woke’ level ranked as below:

1 Shot - Mentioning a famous conservative negatively or a famous liberal positivity.

2 Shots - Introduction of Homosexual / or “Non-standard” romantic relationships. (Note that this does not include interracial relations as I’m not suicidal)

To add to this any time this relationship produces a romantic interaction, such as a kiss, hug or double the shots for a sex scene.

3 Shots - SJW ‘light’ words. (things that existed ten years ago) Examples include but are not limited to: Racism, Sexism, Islamophobia, discrimination etc.

4 Shots - Use of explicitly SJW terms. Examples include but are not limited to: Trigger Warning, Non-Binary, Safe Space, privilege (in the context of white privilege), misogyny, rape culture etc.

Feel free to play along, I am not responsible if you end up in the hospital or worse.

I started watching this last night and it is actually pretty damned good. There was some initial bits that would merit shots but the writing is actually mocking liberals as much as conservatives. They poke fun at trust fund kids but also have the "townie" turn to crime the second he gets a chance.

If this was a bit more adult it would be epic. I hope it grows up like The Magicians. That show got daaaaaaarrrrrkkkk. Plus The Order has a very proactive protagonist, virtually no whining about shit, no emo teen drama at all so far, and it answers plot questions as fast as it raises them. No JJ mystery boxes or hanging plots. The show moves fast!

If only it had boobs to go with the gore/language. Earn that TV-MA!!!

Episode 1: Hell Week Part 1

Ok, that was an apt name for the first episode. What a brutal night last night. I got pretty fucked up. I took notes on my phone as best I could but things got hazy as I went along. I should not have started this on a Sunday night.

4 Shots for Non-Binary bathrooms: Within 5 minutes I got my first quad shot. Fortunately I had a lot of pretzels and bread handy, perfectly happy starting off with a bang.

4 Shots for promoting liberals and shitting on conservatives: During a single fucking conversation they promote Michelle Obama, Warren Buffet and Oprah as “good guys” and Bush and Mussolini as bad guys. I’m not taking a shot for Mussolini as he’s a fascist. Nice job equating him with Bush though, Jesus.

Pretty damn cool scene where the ethics professor shits on an asian girl for virtue signaling, too bad I can’t bank a negative shot. That was a pretty good liberal beat down of a progressive.

The chick mentions “fake news” but I’m not taking a shot for that since it’s used by both sides these days.

3 shots for safe walk: I was iffy on this one, but decided it should count as a discount “safe space”. Technically these safety volunteers have existed for ten years so I only did three. Extra points for the walk being for a jock character and not our strong womyn.

Total damage 11 shots. Fuck. I feel like shit Netflix, fuck you.

Bonus Image of my vodka bottle and afternoon hangover cure.

Damn dude, they at least list oprah as good and bad :p

NEVER watch October Faction, that show will kill you within in minutes :p

And you should take off shits for the first on screen death being a black woman. Second on screen death is a POC as well IIRC. I also think the white pieces beat the black ones in chess, but I dont remember. These are dogwhistle moments of anti-BLM showrunners :p

The Oprah rounding out the bad was meant as a joke I think so I didn’t let it cancel out the good reference. (Considered it though).

The show definitely has it’s non woke moments. I wouldn’t call it balanced but it’s no Sabrina that’s for sure.

Fuck man, that chess set scared the shit out of me, I was sure they were gonna diatribe white / black shit and kill me. They even went back to it twice without anything that made me drink. Scary as fuck.

Just wait till the white folk defeat an ancient black power, not by attacking it, but by being nice..."reverse psychology" the evil white guy says!

Plus we have a chick totally mind raping a dude. But he likes it so i guess it is ok!

Anyway, while it is fun to read into this stuff, I dont think the show has a strong SJW slant to it. Kinda surprising for Netflix, to be honest. Even the gay character acts like a normal person almost all of the time (or is he bi because I think he also wanted a MMF threesome).

Damn, this show is legit. Snappy banter, fast pace, good college humor, and some not bad supernatural world building.

Most fun show like this since Buffy. Goddamn "cannon fodder" was the best :p
