The whole premise of the show is to mock older adults and their generational differences. Disgustingly offensive and ageist notions. I thought we were through tolerating hate based ideas like this, very disappointing to see it embraced by so many bigots.

A large percentage of the reviews left here are from idiots who wrote about the "series," "f bombs," "loud chewing," and "rachel." This is for the review of the 1988 movie, not your recent Netflix feed. Erroneous reviews were flagged as off topic, but who knows if Google will correct this. I urge other, intelligent people to also flag those reviews as off topic. I liked the new series/reimagination. But the original, this 1988 movie, was stupendous. If you're not a fan of darker genres, original themes and the exploration of new ideas, then this movie isn't for you and was never meant for you. Incredible.

I could watch this forever, and I sorta have watched it forever (since discovery). I hear something new every single time. It's incredible! I don't think any of the theories are correct (sadly), but they're wondrous to believe in the interim. After this film, I became someone who follows directors (previously oblivious to the connection, as absurd as it now seems). And boy, do I follow this director now. His creations speak to me in ways I didn't know one could speak. (Also, as someone with many interesting and bizarre sleep disorders, who is a lover of good conspiracy theories, I can't help but feel like I am target audience for his projects. That's unusual! It's amazing! I can't wait for whatever is next!) **Also, why are there so many bad reviews? The summary clearly states that the film is about the "various interpretations" of The Shining. And it was. I don't know what you thought you were being promised, but it delivers exactly what it says. If "various interpretations" isn't something that excites you, then the film isn't meant for or for you.

Miles is full of self pity and detestation. He can't complete his work assignments on time - or even at all. When the fertility clinic calls regarding his upcoming appointments, instead of confirming the appointment they prompt Miles to reschedule - because they know he's never going to come in. Miles refuses to talk to his wife about anything. He is utterly worthless and seems beyond salvation. Until one day, Miles asks a friend at work how he transformed from shy and seemingly inept to the confident, "winning" man he currently is. The friend gives Miles a reference to a private, expensive spa that promises to "scrub" DNA and produce a better version of one's self. Soon, Miles finds the better version of himself inside his home in bed with his wife. Neither the pissant or primo version are sure what to make of this and so they head off together to the spa seeking an explanation. We then realize that the original (pissant) Miles was not supposed to survive, they (spa ppl) had intended to kill him. The other (primo) Miles is faced with the fact that he is not the original but instead a clone. Of course, the original Miles must contend with the fact that he is now the inferior Miles. Both characters suffer from this news and continue to do so throughout the season. Pissant Miles can't compete with Primo Miles. Primo Miles is great at his/their job and great at loving his/their wife. But Pissant Miles is the *real* Miles - with scars and all - in reality it's *his* job, *his* wife, *his* house and so ultimately he has the final say when it comes to Primo Miles's ability to live or have any part of the only life he has ever known. It is really sad, thought provoking, and also amazing and happy provoking. Overall, I loved it. There were a few cheesy scenes and a few attempts at humor which conflicted with the overall tone of the show. But overall, this is a spectacular show, flaws and all. I love you, Paul Rudd.
