Yep, Quibi Is Bad

I’ve wandered through its small thicket of six-minute attention traps that you can only watch on your phone. I’ve sampled its daily updates, its serious dramas, its strange, surreal comedies, and its reality shows. Several hours later, spread across several days, I still can’t tell you exactly what Quibi is.

The streaming works fine. The user interfaces are serviceable. The app itself functions as promised. The shows, though, are a mess. Quibi shows all share a few qualities: They’re short, with episode run times under ten minutes. Short doesn’t have to mean chintzy or trivial, but Quibi shows almost universally feel cheaper and less memorable than similar stuff on other platforms.

This is where I admit that the problem with Quibi is partly me. And the world. When it debuted in early April, I and many others laughed about the fact that Quibi, an app designed for videos that can be watched on the go, was released just at the moment when no one was allowed to go anywhere, ever.

kvanaren Quibi is another celebrity get rich scheme - kinda like Tidal basically Hollywood picking at scraps from Silicon Valley

kvanaren I think it will get better. It just landed /launched at a terrible time. Quibi has terrific talent, on screen, and most importantly superior talent in editing, writing, direction coupled with best in class production. I like it.

kvanaren Quibi you guys are spot-on and your series are absolutely unique and proper! Quality stuff! Please disregard this (literally named) VULTURE magazine and the other with their critique that is probably based on 25 mins of biased browsing..yall should READ REVIEWS of REAL VIEWRS

kvanaren Dude this magazine is BS...like really Quibi is awesome! 'A most dangerous game' is top tear for thriller/action like a few others there. Also 'the sauce' is literally the only show around with legit on-the-rise dancers, and oh, Rachel Hollins or something is an amazing girl!
