And yup, too:
It makes me glad that I haven't seen the show. It may be great writing/acting/story - it's not my speed (not these days).


"Ozymandias," as written by longtime Breaking Bad staffer Moira Walley-Beckett and directed, with emotional violence and blessed visual restraint, by high-stylist Rian Johnson, was one of the most visceral and unpleasant viewing experiences I can remember enduring. It seemed designed to counter our cultural turn toward binge-watching. It was punishment for our bottomless, self-serving hunger. It felt sick, like a purge.



..My decision came in first 1.5 episodes--or wherever it was that this 'chemist' committed his first murder.
Friend had sent me ?-episodes (4? 6?.. never went that far.)
Already the opening scenarios had telegraphed that which--I had not bothered to extrapolate, nor could I then imagine This Thing running about like Upstairs, Downstairs
[however being it's polar-Opposite of civilized, historical, informative, etc. Maybe that's its Attraction?]
No redeeming 'reason' to watch it except to vicariously Be a meth-guy/killer.. (with an alleged/weak 'excuse list' for suddenly choosing to BE 'Mr. Hyde' and to assassinate Dr. Jekyll et Alia.)

In sum--by Episode 1.5 I had put it with every banal car-crash/heaped-dead-bodies in piles Action flic:
simply a Devolutionary-thesis, each of its impressions provoking Horror at minimum/with NO redeeming 'social' or other qualities: just Shock-via-lazily-cobbled algorithms
designed to: just-shock, 'cause it gets the mouth-breathers viscera' into Action-mode and sells beer or dope or whatever.
I was right (about what it would turn out to be) without making any guesses--never mind. even remotely: the inconceivably Vicious subsequent episodes and >This 'Ozymandias' Thing!<
I spared myself this raping-via-execrable-impressions and, this link is ex-post-facto Relief at what I did-Not have to wade through cause-it-was-Soo-'popular cha. cha. cha.


What a bitchin Real, fucking! Rorschach! ... for an entire audience of voyeurs who will watch ANY
--cockamamie nihilist sex-as-violence kinda aberrant-shit, so long as 'everyone else is, Too.'

Baa Baa.. ..But: the sheep Shall be sheared.. psychologically; is that the Worst Way?
And.. Who KNOWS?! just what sort of putrescent plots shall ensue, fueled by the Succe$$ of THIS foray into misanthropic seppuku: maybe a 3-D sequel?
