This week we got nostalgic and traveled back to the early 2000’s, tickling our fancy for that special place that yearns for simpler times with young Anna Ferris and Jeremy Sisto. While there, we also got a fun, hyper-quirky, Dark-with-capital-”D” tale of the titular misanthrope, May. Fitting perfectly into the transition from pre-9/11 tranquility to post-9/11 dark-and-gritty, “May” taps into a strange emptiness that kept us riding those ‘aughts vibes, leading to a “rent” from Ryan and a “stream” from Tim.
