Roughness can also be redeemed

The Brink showed us a terrible world, but it also showed us an alternative attitude towards life. Life is always a fucking mess. Annoying but stupid colleagues are often annoying by their side. They may also kidnap people and cheat on their wives (the affair is really comparable to others), but no matter what, we still have to Keep living.

When we can't face it with normal optimism, going to extreme craziness can be a cure. This kind of madness is rooted in a near-blind comedic attitude, boldly confronting with downstream jokes when angry, and laughing and entertaining ourselves when it cannot be saved. These are all necessary measures to allow us to start again. Who said that optimism must be three-minded and righteous, like a saint without causing dust?

Roughness can also be redeemed.

HBO has always produced excellent works, and this time it also interprets the difference between high and low comedy quality. It is not difficult to make fun of jokes, but it is also difficult to make a big deal. The only one in the world who can win word-of-mouth by lip service, is afraid that Socrates is the only one in the world. But none of us are Socrates, and you are still making a TV show. Precise plot setting and cohesion, proper expression and action interpretation, character contrast in a logical plot, and reasonable extreme reactions of different characters in a specific plot are all qualities that a good comedy should have.

    Are so many dirty jokes necessary? Oh Pakistan, a troubled country with a nuclear bomb, this is no joke.

    Absurd, absurd, absurd, although various backgrounds are full of confusion, but who cares. The end credits of each episode are classic blues or country rock. For What It's Worth!
