Michiko & Hatchin ep2-4
Man. Having spent a long time telling myself I was wrong about this show and the rest would not be as much of a downer as the first episode, I kind of built up this assumption it was going to be Cowboy Brazilbop for the rest of the duration. What I was not prepared for was the possibility that my first guess might have been the right one.
There is a lot of humour here, but there's also a deep, existential sadness behind it all. This is very much Brazil as it was in City of God - once you scrape back the dancing girls and the sunshine, there are cruel realities at every turn, and this series does not shy away from them.
