What’s so good about life from the inside? Well, the rhythm about the first two episodes, for example. When in the first episode, Mason says “I’ve lived my life very frugally” - CUT - and Guy says “Cheap even” and something falls in the microwave. Or, same episode, Mason cries into the phone in a rage “Well I hope you’ll find yourself in the same situation one day…” hitting the microwave and the telephone, it’s fast, it’s expressing the emotions by cuts. And the characters: Mason, who’s agoraphobia is a “clinical diagnosis” but who is quite aware of most situations, while the others are really insane. The dry and black humour of all the tings they say. The normality of abnormality. And all the technical perfection: The jingles, the music (especially in the “night terrors” episode), the extremely well cast and the good play. I can watch them all a hundred times. And then, the theme: A youth destroyed by their parents, but, on the other hand side, not able to get out of childhood. Best of all the Halloween-special, where all the parents in all the ferry tales turn out to be murderous. Mason and Jennifer really belong together in their need to find hated parents. I always can’t keep from crying starting with Masons phrase “It’s a conspiracy”. I think, that’s the ticket about LFTI, a generation with a dogma: Parents are guilty. Can’t really rule me out. But the slight tendency to hated mothers, I don’t go for that: Masons Mother and the two very, very dominant and very, very compassionless and cruel characters Kate and Ashley. But they just fit into the character outfit of the whole situation, so I guess I overdo this interpretation myself.
Now, Episode 7. I don’t go for it since now. The jokes just don’t work as they did in all the other episodes. They are “gewollt” as we say in Germany, someone wants them to be funny, but they just look like - jokes someone wants to be funny. For example the two mobile-phone-people; while the joke about the “military base” that turns out to be an elementary school is just - flat. The characters just make the impression to be overdone. And that was never the case in all the other episodes: You could always believe the characters to really believe in their way to act. This balance does not work in episode 7. As Jennifer with the pet dog walking on the street: She was never SO exaggerated in all the other episodes, but just quite strange and funny. Still I like Dixon Wynn in the doorframe saying, “OOh” and still I’m looking forward to the last two parts.
Could someone now be please so kind as to help me some: What is sung in the jingles starting most episodes “Quaik hain prohibited” I understand. What is it really? And what is answered when Kate explains her “diet plan” ands says, “What would you say… by eating nothing but beef yerky” Ashleigh answers: “Beezee grows”. What does Ashleigh really say? I’m no native speaker and just can’t understand it.
... and since I understand now, than my email is not published and just for inside use, here it is.
The mason/dixon set up caught me off guard! So funny, I'm still laughing as I write this. Now was that joke thought of at the beginning of the series. keep me laughing.
Disappointing, there´s is only monologue here.
I am hooked! I fall out of my chair laughing with each episode. The writing is so incredibly intelligent and charming! LFTI is my "cup 'o tea!" Who knew A.B.S.U.R.D. could do so much good for man's best friend by unite seeing people with their blind counterparts?
