there, i said it. i know im the odd man out here but i just cant hold it in anymore. i love tv. i do not love this show.

its like depression distilled. zero positivity ever, zero joy from any character in any situation. its like watching torture porn.

i get it... it has some interesting ideas awash in a bucket of symbolism sprinkled with some of my favorite actors. it just seems like such a chore to watch not caring what happens next.

ok, go ahead, beat me up. i prolly deserve it.

I think there is plenty of joy there. I am sorry you are not seeing it.

There are plenty of relationships that are very warming. Love is very present, family and friendship is so central.

I would say the show is way more about growing up and fighting for life than anything else.

It is a complex narrative to be fair. I see it as an allegory of how corporate life tries to destroy the relationships that help us resist their goal of total control. So yeah it’s bleak but the ‘heroes’ of the story are the ones with the most genuine relationships.

I shudder to think what Mr Milchiks home life is like.
