Anyway, saw episode one, and it's every bit of a piece of his prior work.

The best way to put it, particularly to avoid spoiling the experience, is that you won't know what you're watching, but you know you can't look away.

I'm not entirely sure I can say universally that it's not off-putting, because it meanders into realms that are going to spark response from some. And that's not saying it's like gross or perverted or weird, except in the broadest senses of those concepts.

The best word I can conjure is transgressive . . . It takes so many things about social interaction and subjects it to new scrutiny and off-kilter re-examination. You'll wonder what's real and what's not, and you'll wonder how someone comes up with the subtle and small details, let alone the grand plan that goes into an undertaking like this.

I highly recommend off what I've seen of the first episode, because if nothing else it won't be quite like anything else you've seen, and it's worth it just for the creativity and nuance.

A lot of this probably sounds like talking around the show instead of talking about the show, and that's fair and it's also innate to the show itself. I think the remarks, as well as the circumspection, will make more sense when you've seen it yourself.

Lost it at Chinese Gunpowder. Ending was wholesome. We loved it.
