A Controversial Premiere
The debut of ‘Babylon Show’ has generated a flurry of reactions on social media, especially on X (formerly Twitter). However, the echo of applause has been quickly drowned out by an avalanche of harsh criticism. Many viewers have taken to the platform to express their discontent, describing the show as an absolute fiasco.
Heartbreaking Reviews
Negative opinions were not long in coming. Many users have described the show as ‘the worst they have ever seen’, highlighting the lack of coherence and rhythm in the presentation. One prominent tweet mentions: ‘Carlos Latre doesn’t stop shouting. What a disaster!’. The feeling of embarrassment has become a recurring theme among those who follow the programme.
The Forced Laughter of Carlos Latre
Critics have also pointed to Latre’s attitude, which seems obliged to keep a smile on his face even when the situation does not warrant it. One Twitter user commented: ‘It’s hard to see so much fake laughter; it’s uncomfortable.’ This phenomenon has led many to question the authenticity of the show.
Marta Torné in the Punto de Mira
Contributor Marta Torné has not escaped the storm of criticism. Her performance during an interview with the gold medallists of the women’s water polo team was particularly singled out. When asked about the differences in their medals compared to those of their colleagues, confusion reigned on set. The perplexed athletes replied that there was no difference at all, prompting Latre to intervene, suggesting that Torné look at the back of the medals.
A tense moment
The awkwardness was palpable as Torné continued with his questions, leaving the athletes in an awkward position. This type of interaction has made viewers question the presenters’ effectiveness in handling delicate moments.
An Uncertain Future
Despite the criticism, ‘Babylon Show’ is preparing to stay on the air. However, the competition is intensifying with the return of Pablo Motos to Antena 3, which poses an additional challenge for Latre’s program. The question on the minds of many is whether the format will be able to adapt and change the negative perception it has generated.
The road to acceptance is a long one, and if the show does not take steps to address its audience’s concerns, it could face an unpromising end to its television career.
