Did you ever have a comeback that was so perfect that you wish more than anything you could go back in time just to say it? That is every line in this show. The dialogue is isn't just sharp- every line is ideal. It would be a nightmare if people actually talked with such precision and hilarious articulate gravitas.
I want to hate the show because these people are repulsive. Only the top .000001 get the distance from consequences and need for empathy to become this breezily sociopathic and cruel. But even these obscenely shallow people are evocative because they impact us all.
Shiv looks amazing. Tom's conflict hearing that shiv i cheating on him is poignant. He wants to be in that world more than he wants her but he does love her.
It's hard to watch a show when everyone in it deserves nothing but disdain but the writing is so elevated that every line is worth paying close attention to.
