This show is pretty awful. There's major issues in every part of this production pipeline. From nonsensical sound fx almost appearing non-diajetic in nature half the time to the limited expression allotted to them from their limited budget being wasted on caricatures and presentation which detract from the overall theme and tone of the show.
The overall narrative itself seems incredibly disjointed, ill-paced and not really thought out. The through-story ends up making the protagonist come off selfish and conceited, and the pacing and presentation only serves to double down on that conclusion.
