![]() I can't say I'm much of a cinemaholic and know lots of stuff, so I can remember only one video-game that represented an atmosphere like that - GTA III. You are going to grow up with it and it will spread in your body and your mind even deeper. And you'll never change it to anything else - it's in your blood now. ![]() The city itself is a huge dump full of weirdos, bizarre places and graffiti. That dark, gray and a bit existential feeling of a huge, American megalopolis, had been little presented in shows whatsoever. But why the show is particularly good is the atmosphere. At least for the nostalgia the show recalls. Remember the not-so best choice of apartment for the first time? Having a crush on a person from a different world? Doing weird bets with your friends? This is what mostly happens in the series, and it's one of the reasons you'll like it. All the troubles and weird stuff you face in your 20s, when you are taken as an adult, but haven't become one yet, is generally presented there, with great, realistic humour in addition. What makes the show so attractive is the fact that it is based on true stories from real people - and it really seems that way. Alex hangs around with his friends, moves out in his own apartment, tries to impress a girl he likes - long story short, lives a life of a youngster in one of the biggest megalopolises in the world. So, Alex, the protagonist, is a typical nerd in his 20s, got stuck on a dead-end job in a small typography, in the middle of New York. The show concentrates on the idea of being young in the late 90s - early 2000s, when beepers were still around, the internet was slow and the term 'nerdy' was offensive. ![]() I have to say that for American show 13 episodes is not enough to give it an objective score (thanks, MTV), but you may find the direction which the show was going to take - and it was going to be pretty nice.
