Yes
i believe it's thje same concept
especially shows aimed towards teens right now
Yes
See 13 reasons why
The book was already a shitty one
Then they made it a show
i watch a lot of teen shows and they're FULL of directionless violence, drugs, sex
Then they made 3 fucking seasons about it
And truth be told I get really tired of activists pushing themselves to center stage using any backhanded methods, for example disguising themselves as entertainment
again it's okay if it's central to the story and it's shown realistically
Although I'd say euphoria has kind of integrated the vulgar parts for a narrative
Exactly
Like breaking bad or Euphoria
Has drugs and violence and sex, but made it a plot point
Instead of just putting scenes for the hell of it
Same for modern pop
Like the trash kind
i mostly don't like the idea of the stuff being brushed over as well too
Good story narrative devices are ones that start a path for the viewer to be engage
like you'll see a teenager in a show get beaten, raped, and OD
Exactly
and they act totally normal afterwards
Mr robot is another example
There were already signs of the lead having gone through trauma
And everything is implicit
But they talk about it when it is needed
End of the fucking world
And not explicitly talk about the traumatic events
That too
yes i was actually pleasantly surprised by that
a lot of netflix shows have that kind of grotesque romanticization
but that show displayed trauma nicely
I know
I want primal on Netflix
What is that show about?
A show with no words yet speaks volumes
Premise?
It’s about a cave man and a T. rex
oh i think ive heard of that
