After watching two episodes, I had no idea where it was going.
It ended up being quite foreboding and oh so heavy and bleak and there was a sense of it never going anywhere, never ending. Earlier on in one of the episodes a character says what I've typed below and that's how the poor sad characters lived their lives.

"Everything in this universe repeats itself
The sun comes up the sun goes down
The sun comes up again
We’re young, we’re old,
We’re born, we die.

Everything goes round and round and it’s absurd

But who am I to accept the nature of things,
I just have to accept them"

I'm thinking it verged on genius, but in a twisted genius type of way. Very interesting show all in all however I had to go mow a couple of acres of grass just to throw off the heaviness of life that I was left with after watching it. lol.
