An unpleasant encounter between two nerds in a parking lot turns into a chase through the streets of Los Angeles and affects the lives of the driver and the female driver in a nerve-wracking way for the next year. Prepare the kapadim.
Danny ChoRenovations contractor, and Amy Law, a business owner, live in the Los Angeles area. Both of them – each for their own reasons – seethe inside of them. A bad meeting between their cars in a parking lot leads to an actual explosion, a wild chase through the streets, and continues in a disorderly manner for weeks, months and even a year later. The persecution affects their actions and lives in a way that could not even be imagined from their point of view, on the connections with their families, and presses internal buttons that evoke old and difficult memories.
“Nerves” is an unusual (and excellent) series in its unusual approach towards its protagonists. The way in which they go out of their minds due to, as mentioned, nerves, is so intense that over long periods of time it makes the viewer cringe uncomfortably in his armchair. The endless variety of angry facial expressions of Amy Lau (actress Ellie Wong) should be displayed in a museum for people in crisis. The same goes for her relationship with her weak husband and her venomous mother-in-law.
Towards its last episodes, the series begins to spread a little, probably due to its creators understanding the nature of the successful product they put out under their control and their desire to milk a few more episodes, a few more sales and a few more advertisements from it, but this is understandable, even if it is naturally nerve-wracking.
To see or to give up: to see. Definitely. It also wouldn’t hurt to have some small submachine gun by your side in case you ever want to entrench yourself on the roof and open fire.
