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.

Spoiler: show

Oh I get it now.

I get that's the point of these long shows, to flesh out every supporting character and go on and on, but I'd prefer a more astute version. Don't get me wrong. This is a really good show. Just a bit long-winded at times.

perhaps what i liked the most about this show was how dark and how good they fleshed out all of its characters. I was expecting a comedy about these two fighting and doing fucked up stuff to each other and got very surprised with the drama and how deeply emotional it was.

Maybe I'll come around on that aspect more.
