A generation that does not find itself in the society, and a society that has no interest in finding its own generation. At this point the escaping of Alyssa and James seems almost natural and desirable, but the plot heavily struggle to give a further sense to this wild decision. The vicissitudes of the two main characters are only the condiment to a story that could develop well based on their crazy minds, instead it refuses to do so, while it focuses on their (stupid enough) actions, which have obvious consequences from the moment they are done: eventually they put themselves in a mess that they can no longer control. Surely the best part is Alyssa and James' love story: it's "real" and intriguing, and gives us a glimpse of their perverse but genuine thoughts, and it gives a motivation for almost every (I repeat, quite stupid) action, as in the best scenes, when James tries to give some flowers to Alyssa or when Alyssa dances to the records found in the house they've been hiding in. Definitely it's funny, intriguing and worth of the short bingewatching needed to watch it all (8 episodes, 20 minutes each: honestly kinda ridiculous for a tv series, why not a movie?). 6.5/10
