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.

Holy cow, this show is awesome. Mahlek is amazing. The writing is way better than anything on non-premium cable TV, which is surprising because I think it's a USA show?

Ep 6, in which

Spoiler: show

Shayla gets killed

was a doozy. I thought, "How are they gonna top that?"

Then the next episode blew it out of the water with much quieter moments of character development:

Spoiler: show

Angela' conversation with the E-Corp executive, in which she asks about the meeting that lead to her mom's death. Tyrrell's breakdown after killing the CTO's wife. Then Darlene's conversation with Trenton, where Trenton talks about her immigrant parents who will likely die in debt. And then finally when Elliot tells his therapist all the personal shit about her.

This show is awesome. I'm all in.
