Wild Palms/YMMV
- Adaptation Displacement: Though the series is not well-known today, even lesser-known is the serial comic by Bruce Wagner (who wrote both the comic and the TV series).
- Complete Monster: Josie and Coty are both pretty horrifying.
 |
Coty (to Josie): "When you killed your daughter, your pulse never rose above normal. We're alike in that way, but my crimes will be grander, I assure you. One day I will put out the sun, and make bare every womb that ever was." |
 |
- Crowning Music of Awesome: Original soundtrack by Ryuichi Sakamoto and a lot of fine retro music.
- Ho Yay: Harry and Kreutzer. Lampshaded numerous times.
|
Kreutzer: "Harry! You're gonna make me fall in love with you!" |
|
- True Art Is Incomprehensible: Wagner described the series as "a tone poem" - it doesn't have so much a plot as a series of circumstances that characters are exposed to, interact with, and are shaped by.
