This movie is really about extreme depression in all of its forms and how it plays out in a family. This is not to give away any plot point specifically but to warn you that it is a very, very depressing film that I really got no enjoyment watching, even though I thought the acting was extremely compelling, but I really can't recommend this movie because there was really no point to it. Even in the most depressing of Shakespearean tragedies, there is a point that obviously needs to be elucidated, and I don't see illumination as being part of this film's character. Just because a film has excellent acting does not mean that you need to see it.

OK; so now I have six hundred characters (600) to explain why I'm giving the first three seasons a 9/10 rating but then suddenly the 4th season appears and it's abysmal compared to the first three...why? What happened? Somehow the energy, intelligence, intrigue, sci-fi bonafides, etc., so prevalent in Seasons 1-3 were sucked into a hopeless void for Season 4. I'm not going to reveal plot points nor give away spoilers but I've got to say, in S1-3, there's an amazing range of social issues and conundrums illuminated by these on-the-edge parables of tech-gone-wrong but largely focusing on human foibles and thus there's much universality to be appreciated whether the subjects are themselves human or not.

I was close to giving this one star but I suppose there were some attempts at trying to make this funny....but it really wasn't funny, nor interesting, nor inventive, nor engaging and I found myself wishing the horrible skits would just come to an end. Boring. That's probably my overall review for this puerile, largely scatological drivel. Yawn inducing and not worthy of being watched. Do I really need, IMDB, another 200 characters to crank out to further explain, without revealing major plot points / spoilers, how much I disliked what I saw? Nothing original, nothing unexpected. Can I now go back and give this just one star?!? How the publication "The Week" ever got this on their recommended list is unfathomable.
