I&#8217;ll be keeping 4 out of 26. Despite all the yammering from a couple of websites about tone poems, introspective, brooding, sensitive, etc., most of these just strike me as pretentious, poorly written and poorly directed. Bronson isn&#8217;t a hero or anti-hero; he just mopes around with his head down and mumbles stuff. The one good thing thing you could say about the show is that people are generally better off (happier, more self-aware) for Bronson having been there. What still puzzles me is my firm memory that I had carried &#8220;all&#8221; 13 episodes in my head for years. The only ones familiar to me now are the 4-5 that stuck with me from\u00a0 another binge 10-15 years ago; the other 20+ did not tickle a single neuron.
