New series has very favorable Rotten Tomatoes score and only six episodes. I’ll give it a try; starts next Sunday.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

It is all downhill from there. Nothing will live up to that. One of the best single seasons of anything I've ever watched.

Season 3 is worth it as Mahershala Ali is just so damn good in it, but Season two (which I still liked) was a miss.

S1 is mentioned as a similar conspiracy in S3, IIRC. Otherwise, I think they're all just about child sex rings for muckety-mucks
