Is this show supposed to have a remotely coherent plot? Because I sure as fuck haven't found it yet.

[Top Gun]

Real talk, I have watched 5 episodes of...whatever this is so far, and it took watching Mother's Basement to understand what the fuck is actually happening:

I'm so sorry you had to do that.

Oof.

I mean.. I get it. It's running with the old trope of "nothing shown in sequential order." Because Elle's whole thing is time happens all at once or whatever. It'll be one of those things that maaaaybe makes more sense by the end when it all ties together, and will still require remembering it all, and probably still take someone cutting it all into sequential order to really make sense.. whatever can be made here.

I just don't think they needed R&M to tell that story, and lifting the characters to put them in it has drained them of most of their characterization, and forces a lot of really flat/awkward writing that simply doesn't fit.

[MasqueradeOverture]

It's not real R&M I don't care

I wonder if this show benefits from being binged since inscrutability is a common critique 

I dont really know wtf is flying either

[DangerMouse]

I still need to check this out dubbed, maybe I'll follow it better.
