I almost forgot that Mark is actually a functioning alcoholic in this show. One of the things that caught me off-guard was how Mark at work didn’t seem to struggle with compulsive urges at all. It’s not particularly unusual for functional alcoholics to make it through the workday without a drink or withdrawal symptoms.

Both show a changing America at the cusp of the second millennium, though one is told through the orbit of a single person’s actions and reactions while the other is told through a series of interweaving storylines. Both touch on the concept of change: evolution to some, decay to others.

I almost forget that a subplot of the show is Elliot being addicted to morphine.
This show got too depressing for me to finish, but I was in high school then, so I’ll give it another go sometime soon.
I have a pretty big stomach for watching depictions of suffering, but this show is really fucking relentless. I stuck with it until Fiona left, it just got less interesting without her.
