people are all like "but now it's a dream of a simulation of a robot" and I'm all "dude they make the point multiple times every season that it doesn't matter what iteration of the character this is, we're following their development along a specific emotional arc meant to make a philosophical point" and I feel like a pretentious douchebag saying it but this show has so many fucking good moments
They have a bit of a pretentious tone because they're going for mythical, characters are allegorical, fuck's sake William gives a speech that could be lifted from a black metal album in season 3 where he basically says "I am nihilism, I represent the toxicity of a 'fuck everything' world view and will destroy everything in a hollow pursuit of making some point that is inherently unsatisfying". It's artsy-fartsy and has a stark, austere aesthetic, and frankly the music and ambience in the series is fucking incredible. Love me some goddamn twinkly synthwave shit
