Especially not cliché, especially literary fan

Talking about literature and art these days is like scolding someone, but the story of this young writer in Brooklyn is just right to show the life paradigm of young American literary youth. Jonathan, the protagonist named by the screenwriter after himself, is moderately decadent, uses a pot, the room is full of books but no bookshelf; he can’t write a fart in front of the computer for several months, and occasionally participates in a press conference and art exhibition to write a few comments; There are still some, and prostitutes can be hired when needed. If I think this life is good, it's not boring to death, but contradictions create effects, and adding a little stimulation to ordinary life is very interesting.

An accidental piece of news made him live the illusory and true dual life of writer and private detective. The intertwining of the two lines of life and excitement creates an interesting dramatic conflict. Jonathan often receives a call from Boss George while performing "missions", or if he told anyone that he would enter the play, there would be a call from the client. The phone rang endlessly, and the audience was like a roller coaster with classmate Jonathan, traversing the streets of New York. You won't guess what will happen in the next second. You think the case has no clues, but the screenwriter can make up a few clues for you, and even one piece can indeed form a circle.

"What are you doing? I want to go too!" George, a successful but lonely old man over half a hundred years old, made a loud appeal again and again to enter the world of young people as if he was grasping at straws. Jonatha's other best friend, Ray classmate, an artist who is dissatisfied with idealistic desires, draws cartoons full of sperm and big pi, and often acts as a funny but cute joke. Putting these three together, people feel that life is rich and colorful.

In addition to the absurd black humor, the story also rubs your heart in the dialogue from time to time. SE1EP3, Psycho asks Jonathan why the script is so important.
J: "Because I have a chance to work with Jim Jarmusch. If I do, my whole life could change."
Doctor: "Woo~~It seems like illusion to me. Life don't change, we simply become more comfortable with our core misery, which is the form of happiness."
These two sentences make me feel uncomfortable. I know how this "Jungian" psychiatrist brought Ray's nose and tears.

Anyone who is like me, after watching this drama, immediately went to see the website of craigslist, which must appear once every episode. craigslist is a very simple page advertising information aggregation website, where you can find housing in American cities, Jobs, second-hand deals, and more. I think this TV placement is too effective for me, even though the site already ranks high on Alexa.

In a word, this show is very cliché, especially literary and artistic. It will give you some jokes while showing you a detailed tour of Brooklyn. Some of them also involve literary movies and are a little more difficult. A good show, welcome to watch.
