    The Harbingers Review

    Going into this series — a Tribeca official selection from 2025 — after finding it on LinkedIn, I expected something like “The Prestige” book or movie.

    Ryan Estrada’s nine episode comedy series asks some big questions and tackles even bigger ideas. Big Data is both funny and smart. A trait not found in a lot of humor pieces. At its heart Big Data will appease fans of both random side jokes and those who prefer a coherent story with humor sprinkled in. Almost all the jokes…
