4. I watched it back in 2011 or so.

I was in a deep, depressed daze for a week after I watched it. I was shocked that it was billed as a comedy. It just seemed so unutterably bleak and depressing. I thought it was a jaundiced satire of life in the GW Bush Era. I had no idea that it would be predictive, and still in front of us with no end in sight.

I'm never watching it again. Not when we have the nightly news...
