Set in a world somewhat like our world, in a time quite similar to our time, Maniac tells the stories of Annie Landsberg and Owen Milgrim, two strangers drawn to the late stages of a mysterious pharmaceutical trial, each for their own reasons. Annie's disaffected and aimless, fixated on broken relationships with her mother and her sister; Owen, the fifth son of wealthy New York industrialists, has struggled his whole life with a disputed diagnosis of schizophrenia. Neither of their lives have turned out quite right, and the promise of a new, radical kind of pharmaceutical treatment—a sequence of pills its inventor, Dr. James K. Mantleray, claims can repair anything about the mind, be it mental illness or heartbreak—draws them and ten other strangers to the facilities of Neberdine Pharmaceutical and Biotech for a three-day drug trial that will, they're assured, with no complications or side-effects whatsoever, solve all of their problems, permanently. Things do not go as planned. |

WOW. This is an amazing amalgamation of genres and styles that is 110% entertainment at it’s best. “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”, “Alien”, “Blade Runner” and sprinkling of anime and a pinch of retro (yet, not), and some black humour, as well as excellent visuals and multiple and ever-expansive story-lines and that’s what this treasure is. And we’ve got all the episodes in abundance! This is a binge watcher’s dream come true. Somehow for me, this series was more like watching a film, even if I were to watch the episodes one at a time. Thanks for all the links, uplinkers.
