I felt ashamed at causing Discourse the way I did (no investigation no right to speak) so I watched up to the last episode. I think it’s fine, it’s worth viewing. It does a decent job of making the question of joining the plurbs actually hard to decide. There isn’t really an obvious political allegory, and while I think the show might be commenting on AI as some people in this thread have said, I think there’s a lot of other clear symbols and allusions to other themes that I don’t think it’s just a commentary on LLMs. The commentary on American Chauvinism, similarly, is definitely there but it’s not the meat of the show. The meat is the thought experiment and the character drama.
thanks. I like his past work enough to at least give this a shot
Yeah, Breaking Bad is probably my favourite American tv serial too, tho maybe it’s a toss-up with True Detective S1.
Altho to be fair my friends have yelled at me for not having seen the Wire, dunno if I’ll ever get round to that lol
