When I read this synopsis, I felt even more convinced that I'm too old to get this show. Maybe it's my pending 40th birthday or maybe it's just that the closed captioning didn't work at all--watching this show without them is next to impossible for me--but man, I didn't get the Heisenberg/Observer reference either. I think I'm too busy trying to parse out what's really happening in the universe of the show with what's only happening in Elliot's imagination. I feel like the show would benefit from making it just a notch more clear what we're supposed to trust as real vs. what we're not sure about. I get the unreliable narrator thing, but for the scenes/storylines that Elliot isn't in, it would help to know where to stop the suspicious parsing and just enjoy the story (such as it is). I don't know what to trust. Is Wellick really another of Elliot's personalities? Is Angela? Why is Price even bothering with her? Like another poster said, shouldn't he be like, EXTREMELY busier--too busy to deal with her? And with the Elliot stuff, the whole time I'm too preoccupied trying to figure out what's actually happening (is he in jail? in a mental institution? is the Seinfeld friend real??? the mother? the dog?) I mean, I like the show, but I could use some Cliff notes. Thanks, Previously.tv!
