Listening to the second episode of Bored to Death while I do work to see if it improves. Nope, it’s gotten worse. But they have managed to mention the Israeli military 3 times in 1.5 episodes, which is bizarre and alienating, but nonetheless impressive in its lack of relevance.
However, From what I gather, the producers of the show have a very precise demographic in their crosshairs: Pro-Israel, upper middle class, unmarried females aged 25-35 who want to know how men think in various relationship scenarios. BUT, not what they really think, what they want them to think.
Just watched the first episode of Bored to death.
Verdict: boring, unfunny, effete, derivative, schlipster…shite.
