Crazy plot. Initially there were flashes of profundity that showed promise in building the characters, but it didn’t follow through. Most of it was literally crazies doing crazy stuff, albeit in a light vein. Knowing the songs that were mentioned might have set the right tone/environment, but alas I didn’t have that knowledge.
