...Show buys into the pop-historical arc, familiar from movies like Boogie Nights and Blow, in which the relatively innocuous, goofy '70s (pot, disco, TM) sour into the cold, aggressive '80s (coke, heavy metal, M.B.A.s). It's hard to cultivate warmth for a decade that you're portraying as soulless and lame, especially if your characters are equally empty.

The song stretches out and engulfs, this time with the band’s accompaniment, laced with soulless defences of the amendment, while Amos intones, full of multiple meanings: “Mother Superior jump the gun.” If this is an anti-gun rant, Amos would be the last to make it simple or easy...
