Another interesting piece in the NY Times about the show - this time from the perspective of how its characters fascinate "our" modern POV with their dangerous pleasure-seeking behavior:

I quoted "our" because it strikes me that the author's conception of modern motivations and lifestyles reflects a pretty narrow swath of society, even for the NYT. A lot of what she assumes does apply to many of us, but there's a lot more variety to our modern world than her own intensely focused, hyper-achieving NYC lifestyle.
But it's still a good read with some interesting observations.
