Tried to Stick it Out
I’m a big fan of BEE so I was really excited for season 2. The writer/narrator, Ms. Anolik, is really obnoxious. Her observations, interpretations, and even her cadence of speech are gossipy and grating. Occasionally some interesting nuggets about Ellis’ life are mined, but eventually the cost outweighs any benefit. I tapped out following an utterly ridiculous rant equating Donald Trump to Patrick Bateman. Yeah, Bateman loves Trump in the novel. It was NYC in the 80s, he was one of the most famous businessmen in the world. Brett has made it pretty clear that people shouldn’t read too far into the Trump/Bateman theme. Kind of ironic I guess. BEE has derision for snowflakes and fanatical Trump haters. Ms. Anolik clearly falls into both of those categories.
