with a certain kind of coffee-shop indie music that is precisely calculated and entirely expected. It is a show that is, in a word, manipulative. In two words, perhapsBecause all art manipulates, if by that we only mean provoking a response and doing it intentionally.

Grief is worth examining, grief is worth recognizing, and yet at some level, I did feel like the labors of everyone involved were so ... well, labored that it was almost like distorted sound when speakers are overwhelmed.. It is swimming in death. Everybody is sad all the time.

Lol wait until you finish Season 2 of last of us.

As sad as Ep3 of The Last of Us?
