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.

1. That's not even close to what the story's about
2. Objects in rooms, evidence of life in living spaces, is indeed a recurring motif; I wonder why they did that? It was probably an accident!
3. The score is one of the highlights

Sit down and think about how in your haste to dismiss this movie you ended up sounding like Bammer writing about international cuisine

Yeah, what tree said.

Among many other things, the show deals with white liberal guilt, cultural appropriation, and Native land rights. Issues which her character obliviously plays superficial lip-service to.
