[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ali Wong was outstanding in this. I found it hard to watch through about the first half, then couldn't stop binging it. A lot of good shows about people struggling with dark impulses right now, eg this and Yellowjackets. I loved the ending. People really just want to be understood and accepted, especially those who don't feel like straightup good people. Astute commentary on the loneliness and pain that result from pretense and lack of genuine connection. Lots of that, at a lower level, in the DMV.[/quote]

It was their palpable loneliness that made them sympathetic despite their despicable actions. The flashbacks gave context for the terrible choices, giving some context. With less skilled actors, would have been hard to pull this off. Especially Ali Wong, since the rich entitled person who has it all is incredibly hard to sympathize with normally, especially with that awful mean streak.[/quote]

I've always enjoyed Ali Wong but her character is the reason I had trouble getting into the series. Such a callous self-centered jerk, and you don't realize how broken and lonely she is until the layers began peeling back over the course of the series. She did a great job with that.[/quote]
