What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAmazon's new series Blade Runner twenty ninety-nine arrives November twenty-fifth, and its tagline is, quote, humanity has fallen.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTheBlaze says viewers are already outraged over the casting, and that a transgender actor stars in it.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the show hasn't aired and it has already got its reviews.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA franchise built on the question of what counts as human is being argued over before a single episode streams.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe studio probably has not had to say a word.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'd call it pre-release audience engagement. The marketing department is calling it a record opening week, and nobody has pressed play.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorVerdict on the debate: premature.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThen everyone has about nineteen days to watch it before they review it.
