[Truman Show] Okay so there's this new TV show and I'm not sure I get it.

So my friend invited me round to watch this new TV show everyone's talking about, this 'Truman Show', and honestly, I think it's kind of... creepy?

So it started two weeks ago, and we spent two hours watching it. I even spent another hour the next day with him, and I still don't get it.

Like... It's just a baby. In a crib. Occasionally he gets breastfed (censored of course), sometimes he shits himself, sometimes it gets changed. But like, everyone seems utterly engrossed in this baby, just watching it do normal baby things. I even saw a young mother pushing her stroller, talking about the show, and I'm just thinking: What does this truman baby do differently?

I'm not crazy am I?

Or is this some kind of weird fetish thing?

Like, it's just a baby!

I even heard they had *decade*-long plans for this kid, watching him live his entire life, some joker even mentioned a dome bigger than any structure on Earth. Stupid as hell, but everyone was taking it seriously.

You want to make a massive building like this, not to feed everyone, not to offer everyone shelter, but so we can keep watching this totally normal baby?

And until then, we have like 2 years of just watching this baby? There's a new season of the simpsons out, a new star trek show, a cool fantasy thing on the next channel, and all anyone cares about is this dumb baby?

Maybe it's a generational thing, but even my parents seem into it. Maybe I'm the weird one idk, but I was wondering if i could get another point of view on this creepy phenomenon?

It's an artsy thing.

Every other show you've seen is fake. No matter how good the acting and scripts and special effects are, it's not real. No matter how much chemistry there is in a fictional romance, say, deep down you know it's still fictional. Those people don't *really* love each other. They're just acting.

This isn't. Truman isn't an actor. he's real. His actions are real. When he falls in love, it's real. When he struggles, it's real. He's not a fictional character, he's a real person you really know.

Or... will know. Granted, currently, he's a baby, so none of that's happened yet. But, like, once it gets going it's going to be great.

And currently you're actually watching a real baby really be raised! That's unique. And the baby is pretty cute.
