"“In 1987, Thurston and I were both reading Philip K. Dick, whose writing has more in common with philosophy than science fiction, and whose descriptions of schizophrenia were better than those of any medical journal. Philip Dick had a twin sister who died shortly after she was born and whose memory plagued him his whole life—which is maybe how and why our new album ended up being called Sister."

I really liked this show. For one, it takes place in San Antonio, which I immediately recognized. The episode were the perfect length 21-25 minutes. The animation was so cool, and I thought it was pretty innovative.
The story line was really interesting, and it was a very interesting, and respectful way to deal with schizophrenia. I really, really hope there's a 2nd season, since it was left on such a cliffhanger.

"My uncle was a paranoid schizophrenic for his whole life, and I always strived to understand him through works of art. When I first saw Bergman’s depiction of schizophrenia and how it affects family members, I knew I was not alone in my quest to understand the human brain. Then when Lodge Kerrigan came along with Clean, Shaven, it was the first film that I believe truly depicted the honest horror of what it feels like to be imprisoned in a brain that is not yours to control."

Reading Paul Torday's novel "The Girl on the Landing" makes one want to paraphrase Joseph Heller's quote from "Catch 22" to read: "Just because you're [being treated for] paranoid [schizophrenia], doesn't mean they aren't really after you". The plot here is dark, fascinating and gives one food for thought about mental illness and if some types of disturbed states might not have some basis in the outside world. Torday knows how to grab his readers, and his style is one that makes reading his books a pleasure. You can read my full review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2013/12/21/a-girl-who-is-part-mystery-part-fantasy/
