Whoa! Steady on, dear readers. This series has just taken a sharp turn into the adult section of the bookstore.
Yeah, it starts out with some whining by guys who are not supposed to be whining, then goes heavy with racial slurs – rather safe racial slurs (aimed at Asians rather than more protected groups, like blacks and Jews).
And before you know it, we are in some sort of literary workshop for a Netflix series, where everyone is simultaneously hard-boiled and emotionally scarred… you know, tough guys on the outside, but insecure teens on the inside, all couched in some half-baked and ultimately apparently inconsequential conspiracy to cover the stupidity of it all – like spreading mayonnaise thick over a pile of stinking tuna.
So go and read it if you like. But don’t say I did not warn you.
