Just finished the First Part: ‘The Part About The Critics”. Thoughts: I feel like Amalfitano is playing The Critics. The Critics are absolutely insufferable with their obsession with Benno Von Archimboldi. Amalfitano’s monologue about Latin American Authors is peak, and is definitely akin to Nicholas Cage’s Monologue “They’re not Real People” in the movie Pig. Mundane so far, but seems like a slow burn.

Outspoken thoughts: Liz Norton is an embodiment of how we can love people that we despise, no matter how much we tried to break free. Her ménage à trois with Pelletier and Espinoza is a sex-charged self destruction that attempts to drown out the self-loathing that stems from still loving her abusive and idiotic ex-husband.
