strongly recommend the first season of this show. apparently, the "showrunner" died, and the second season turned into a boring buddy-cop drama. but, really, i cannot recommend the first season enough as a perfect sort of dripping-with-abstract storyfing

the show features drugs, but they've come up with alternate names for everything -- forget-me-nots (club drug, probably e), luster (judging from the apparatus, crack). it is consistent, totally straight-faced, and emblematic of the whole feel of the thing. you know about what they mean, but it's sort of metaphorical, like a dream. like you're doing drugs in a dream and these are the names you somehow come up with for 'em

yes, yes, another epicmegatrax thread. i cannot say everyone will enjoy this show. i'm not trying to smack absolutely everyone over the head with it -- just trying to solidly alert anyone who is of the right stripe.
here are some key songs that are, actually, major plot points:
all gone son of a
if i had to sum what i love about this series up, it's the feeling you get when you dream about a song, and hear it in waking life the next day.

been watching this off and on, giving myself time to mull over each episode (and not get irritated a bit by the, um, portentousness of it). enjoying it. no spoilers as i'm just starting episode 9 of 10 in the first season, but i had to stop and transcribe this:
"reaching through the waterfall is not a task for the timid; the things you touch are as likely to harm as to heal. lies that seem like truth, truth that seems like a lie. it's easy for the ignorant to be brave; on the other hand, to straddle that line, beneath the falling water, knowing you have no way of knowing whether you're the hero or the villain; that takes a special type of courage. rare. in the end, none of us write our own epitaph. except maybe bob dylan"
if the writer of this show isn't a fan of hallucinogens i will eat my proverbial hat

oh, totally. he died, unfortunately, and the second season is like a generic crappy episodic sci-fi show. first season is unfortunately as far as it properly goes.

yeah. henry bromell wrote the pilot (and, presumably, outlined a lot of the rest) with blake masters, and from wikipedia:
He is the creator of the Showtime television series Brotherhood, developer of the NBC television series Law & Order: LA, and co-executive producer and writer of the NBC television series Crossbones.
and that totally explains the disappointing deflation of intellect/style in the second season

just realized i totally misread the wikipedia
"On April 3, 2017 USA Network renewed the series for a second season, with Rémi Aubuchon replacing Blake Masters as the showrunner.[3] On May 18, 2018, USA announced they had cancelled the series.[4]"
sorry blake, it was actually rémi's fault
