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).
Cheers,

sounds like a crap show from that description
having met more than a few meth heads in RL than I cared to, watching aother one on the screen would be a waste of time

The cinematography looks pretty good.
And the music isn't too bad, from this clip...

maybe, this link is a few years after I was hanging around
them. Just fun party folk then the meth got too deep for most. I'm not a joiner, but I don't mind a good party

I see.. too.
And yup, too:

..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? |
