I watched most of this series due to the fact that my fiancée is addicted to trash TV. I was disgusted with the petty shallowness of most of the characters and could barely stand to watch it. If my fiancée was not the amazing woman she is otherwise, I'd not have given this show 5 seconds of my time. It really is a representation of everything bad with our capitalistic economy, mass consumerism, the world of what we call "work" in the west, and mostly "the media" that keeps pushing this soul crushing ubercompetitive money-buys-happiness neolib agenda. While I'm at they can stick "Uphoria" up thier living-large-in-a-dystopia asses too! Thank the internet gods that we don't get HBO or I'd could probably tell you all about that train wreck of a mirror on society as well.
