Following up on the success of 'Rothaniel,' Carmichael examines himself as a boyfriend, a son and a friend in this eight-part show.
Seated in an uncomfortable-looking chair in the glare of a harsh spotlight that left the rest of the intimate venue entirely in the dark, Carmichael explored family trauma and his sexuality in a soft-spoken, introspective way that gave the impression of spontaneous self-discovery, occasionally assisted by responses from the unseen audience.
But as a friend who insists on wearing a mask and being referred to as “Anonymous” argues, “It’s exhibitionist. There’s public and private and then there’s masturbatorally public. There’s public which is like unnecessarily shooting a camera up your fucking asshole and broadcasting it for the world.”.
Viewers, in choosing to watch and continuing to watch the show, are internally signing a more existential waiver of sorts — either to accept that everything in the series is real or, as a very plausible alternative, to believe that nothing in the show is real, that it’s all “just” entertainment.
