    Uncut Gems. We turned it off when it became apparent how it would end, when he pawned KG’s necklace to place a bet on him. There wasn’t any reason to care about a guy on a self inflicted downward spiral with no redeeming qualities. Would he win or lose? Would a bookie shoot him or would he make a fortune with that weird opal? Who cares? You’re not rooting for him to win, and he’s probably going to self destruct. Maybe they try to make some vapid point about addiction by having him win big and then immediately killing him so he dies happy, like the end of Sopranos only the character is mildly autistic and unlikeable.
