[MEDIA=giphy]10xMyZT8rZ1OGA[/MEDIA]Episode 5The first time I watched this show, I felt a real sense of genre whiplash around this point, as we've gone from urban cyberpunk to dystopian social satire. As former 'fellow citizens' of Romdo, it's sad but inevitable that the society the Commune has created is a virtual parody of Romdo in microcosm, with the group sinking into ever deeper delusions thanks to compulsive liar Hoody. The penny just never drops for them, no matter how over the top his lies because they all feed into their desperate need for hope and acceptance. Hoody, literally painted (thanks to Pino) more as a well-meaning but bumbling clown rather than a self-interested deceiver, can't help but tie himself in knots with deceptions that are a pale shadow of that holding Romdo together.To Re-l it's all just background noise, of course. Despite realising last episode that Daedalus had been keeping information about proxies secret from her, she can't help but keep listening to him. He, and the manipulations of Romdo that he respresents at this point, are a literal voice in her head that she can't escape until she casts off the biohazard suit and the city's 'protection' with it.
