"The combination of hubris and idiocy is inconceivable," says Sally Field's character in one scene. I couldn't have described the show better myself.

Maniac is just showing off from the first scenes. Like the man said, it insists upon itself. I felt just as trapped in Fukunaga's oppressively bespoke universe as Annie and Owen are in theirs, and I'm pretty sure that's not the point of the series.

Smart writing, great creepy sensibility, well-balanced episodes: Maniac is basically fabulous... I'm trying really hard not to utter something like "tour de force" but... um...Whoa. All the feels.
