Prime's first AI-generated show is here, and it's a Vaseline-smeared mess

Prime Video has premiered Castle Walls, a two-episode, 17-minutes-each series set in the 11th century around Alamut Castle, produced by Turkish studio Ay Yapım using generative video tools and billed as the first end-to-end AI-created series on a major streaming platform. The reviewer describes its visuals as looking like Vaseline-smeared Madame Tussauds creations melting in the sun, with overloaded cinematic imagery and banal dialogue, though the production used human voice actors and human screenwriters Kerem Deren and Çisil Hazal Tenim.
