Fucking horrible, aimless, pointless show. poor whoreson steals identity after his CO is blown up, ruins the lives of his fake identity's family in the process, lies his way to a job selling shit to idiots, destroys a marriage, fucks random women in front of his duaghter cuz he just dont give a fuck, ignores his son for 7 seasons, marries a french girl, ruins her life, goes to a zen retreat and makes the single most saccharine and successful (because americans are stupid AF ad want corporate trolls to feed them their happiness and comraderie) ad campaign of all time. wow . horrible horrible.

great summary exept for the "fucking horrible, aimless pointless show."

fucking horrible, aimless, pointless life maybe? sure. but the show? no fucking way.

the whole point of it was precisely that after all his millions and his sturggles and success he got exactly nowhere

when he finally has a breakdown and is able to embrace another human being in a moment of compassion... turns around and sells it to coca-cola. ha! ha ha ha ha!

how did more money "solve all his problems"? by your own summary above--it clearly didn't

you looked down the scope, aimed, had the target in your sights, then flipped the gun 180 degrees and blew your own head off.

how did you read the show as praise instead of condemnation?

if you missed it altogether, i'd like to refer you to the show's opening credits-- which is the silhouette of a man falling, falling, falling, falling into some endless abyss while he passes by a number of life's luxuries and marks of "success"

THE FALLING IS THE POINT
