really wanted to love this piece instead of just really liking it... simply for its editing and references ... but maybe it is because I am older, I do feel the serious issue at hand should be about addiction rather than loosing foot hold in reality and dreaming up monsters and implausible scenarios to escape... I know what I am watching is not real life and won't confuse it with the physical world... yet I am compelled to keep thinking it and consuming it. idk.
