Warning: Spoilers
Of all the animations made by David Firth, this could be easily considered the darkest one. (I mean, besides his shocking music videos "Milkman" and "Ready Err Not")

The third episode in particular went into a very dark territory. So dark the series ended being discontinued because of that, since the creator apparently felt he went to far.

A shame, because the series was getting more interesting with each episode, despite the hopeless bleakness of the plot and the disturbing elements.

The dystopian setting had a vibe reminiscent to the writings of Franz Kafka, but with a much visceral, nightmarish approach.

Definitely not for everyone, but a pretty fascinating work anyway.
