Symphony of destruction. Overrated and shallow show where some interesting characters and situations were hinted in the beginning, but only one story is weakly developed: awakening of absurd uncontrollable/unstoppable psycho-kinetic powers that destroy everything around. Visual art potential is wasted on destruction, decay and distortion. The most notable thing about the show is some still images from the beginning, showing street with junk and graffiti, somehow conveying mood of the place.

The story is weak, with very little development. Most efforts are spent on animation of explosions, etc. which I personally find not all that interesting.
