A simple parable about the dangers of lusting for "success" and selling your soul to obtain it, only to realize too late that it wasn't worth the collateral damage it inflicted upon others. A theme that, frankly, felt pretty basic and well worn. It certainly wasn't the abject failure some reviews have made it out to be, but it still felt rather hackneyed and cliched.

After realizing that Peele may not have played as a major a role in the development of the series as the publicity has attempted to make it (i.e. he didn't write or direct any episodes and only shares a "story by" credit on one episode), I'm a lot less excited about this. Probably won't even invest the time to keep watching...
