Robert Louis Stevenson said he liked the plot of The Curious Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” appeared in dreams. It would have seemed more believable to me if it had occurred to him while he was riding in a carriage through the streets of London. Nothing brings out the worst in a person quicker than driving, or maybe just homeowners' meetings. Those of us who don't have a car or a home have a life, I don't know if it's longer, but they're definitely more relaxed. I've seen the most peaceful people I know act like Red Star ultras because of one wrong turn signal.
It's no coincidence that Bronca's trigger is a scuffle between drivers. He's sitting in a van. It's scientifically proven – or maybe not – that autonomy increases the average driver's habitual anger, just as strawberries increase the taste of champagne. her in an SUV, this plague that standardizes the world's streets to fulfill a petit bourgeois fantasy of freedom, usually the freedom to go to and from the mall.
The Netflix miniseries was one of the winners of the hectic awards week we just experienced. Between the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards and Emmys, she has won 15 awards. The great Ali Wong – her comedy specials are hilarious – and Steven Yeun, the long-suffering Glenn from The Walking Dead, did everything they could. Nothing out of place in the series, which features the most absurd and creepy death of the season.
Perhaps the visibility of the awards will give the necessary boost to an extraordinary series whose premiere in April had little impact. Maybe it's because Netflix has so accustomed us to being a diverse audience that prioritizes quantity over quality that its few gems go unnoticed.
