For me, the intriguing thing about this program is its
premise: the hijacking of
imagination for commerical purposes! For this is essentially the purpose of Jarrod's origianl
sims, or
simulations when he was young--his
pretendings.
Also intriging, is the core rugged individualism of his adulthood--the hero stays ahead of his nemisis, however human she has become, by his own strength and determination. It DOES follow the Greek model for drama, and maybe wouldn't be good drama if it didn't.
This is the only permissable plot structure in American television drama. . .imagine, if you will, a more socialized version, in which many persons imagine, together, a future of equality, plenty, hope, peace--without a market.
Maybe. . .if we stood in a circle. . .held hands. . .
