The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.


Ultra City, she don't care. She don't care whether you're rich and powerful, poor and desperate, or corrupt and comfortable. Your fortune and future is as precious as it is precarious. AMC brings Steve Conrad's (Patriot, Perpetual Grace LTD) vision of Alt-New York by way of the Uncanny Valley by way of a six-episode stop-motion animation. Everyone's a doll and nobody has an interior monologue. Some of them sing.

Ultra City's Great Bright Hope Carpenter (Kurtwood) Smith went out for cigarettes. He hasn't come back yet. It falls to rookie Detective David Mills (Jimmi Simpson) and his streetwise partner Gail Johnson Smith (Da'vine Joy Randolph) to track him down in a city full of drugs, sex, and crime.

First episode didn't click for me, but I was hooked by the end of two. I need to go back now.

I just noticed that Mills was hustling Donovan from the start, to include asking for the definition of what dancing something down meant.

I love that the sci-fi premise of all his shows is "what if everyone's internal monologue was external?"

Also, if Mills is the police station baby he's not precluded from also being a Smith.
