You can't always get what you want. The rolling stones taught me that.
This is a surerealist television series full of heart break and longing. Rotten joke's at the expense of the main character. A horrifying set of twists and plot turns. Overwhelming themes, awkward writing and bad acting. It is set in the suburbs with brief interludes in citys and towns. Foreshadowing so obvious its nearly nauseating. Somewhere though through its folly there is a sweet sub plot. Some redeeming quality that keeps the writers scripting and the actors acting.
One that keeps me laughing, crying and watching. Our main character is an artist, a muscian in fact. The kind of hopeless dreamer that sums up a different generation. One that is forever restless, a little vain, kind of clumsy and bit awkward. Much like himself though they are noble at heart. He longs for a life worth something and feels he is drowning in a digital sea. With tremendous talents and potential he fights himself unknowingly to let them bloom. He just can't seem to find the means to come out on top. Average in many ways he constantly worries about other people opinions of him. Yet he tells everone he dosn't. He dreams about his child hood and wishes he had taken better advantage of it. It seems to cripple his abilitys. Amongst other things he is typicaly young though even in his mid twentys he worries his time is up and that he is becoming irrelevant to the world and the people around him. He wonders if he was ever relevant. This is a story about self-confidence. The themes however rich or sparse are mostly him searching for some sense of purpose and meaning through failed relationships, internal and interpersonal conflict. Its a slice of life story about someone who just wants to be loved by everyone. We pick up in the midst of the 26th season. Fall sweeps are on the rise and in the premier episode our character has decided that due to health concerns and his own self-destructive tendencies he will quit drinking, consuming coffee and smoking weed. Mayhem ensues, sort of. This choice however positive seems to distance him even further from his inspiration. These things were his muse in a way. Everything to him seems stale and with out sheen. So off he goes to repair years of damage. Broken friendships and tarnished reputations are the emotional landscape that his life's highway is paved through. What he has left to work with at this juncture in the story seem so desperate and far away. Even if they might not be . Needless to say he is nearly paralyzed when he tries to reckon with how to begin.
His new spartan lifestyle has its ups and downs.
He dreams of meeting someone perfect that he can fall helplessly in love with. He can't though seem to motivate himself to pursue anyone he meets. Not that he meets anyone that interesting anyways. A few characters are introduced but most of them that seem appealing in anyway are too young or leaving for greener pastures.
Todays episode ends with the rolling stones playing as he writes slowly on his laptop outside his home. He considers his life and tired comes to a realization. Sighing before he logs off he thinks out loud, "Its just seems so uninspired, Should I even post this?" He does despite his misgivings regarding its quality. He signs off his slow rambling blog with a line from the aformentioned musical group, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you just might get what you need"
Good advice, some the character should learn to live by.
