I cycled through the following stages as I listened to THE BIG TIME:
1. “Wow, Greta‘s narrative voice is fantastic! I‘m in for a good time.”
2. “Wow, this thing‘s packed with characters I can‘t care about. Bored now.”
3. “Wow, whenever I rise out of my boredom, I find I actively hate this thing on account of the casually relayed gendered violence.”
1 star (which is my “why the hell did I finish this??” rating)
