Annoying! The only character I enjoyed in their storyline is that of Elizabeth Shue and Giovanni Ribisi. Too political and one-sided point of view, as if Julie Delpy got on her soapbox to push left-wing propaganda versus how things really are in the world. This is how divided cultures and communities continue to exist. Rather than directors and writers using their platforms for good of equality and illustrate solutions, they continue to use their abilities to exacerbate the issues. I couldn't believe she wrote the lines for an 11 yr old; "I guess we all need to die, so the planet can recover."? Given the whole feel of this series and the obvious political stance, when I heard this line, I questioned; did she just referenced depopulation from a child's POV? It makes me sick to witness the unnecessary evil that is being programmed in our children's minds. To learn and speak of death as part of life is one thing that should be talked about with our youth but the notation of a serious matter of depopulation coming from a child is outrageous. I believe The Verge robs the children of their innocence in this series. But then again, who am I. I do not work for Hollywood nor do I need to watch this sensationalist left-wing program. And in case you are wondering since The Verge is more political than about middle-aged women on the verge of a nervous breakdown, NO I am not a right-winged American either. I am a first-generation Californian-born and raised Mexican American middle-aged female who, politically, is more purple than anything else. What attracted me to watch this series was because I truly thought it was about the experiences middle-aged women actually go through. It certainly touched on them but it's more political than anything else. Enough already! I would like for once to see a program that is creative and imaginative and beautiful and funny, not political innuendoes. Thanks for letting me rant.
