I think it’s just a Hollywood cliche with enough truth it plays out in the real world here and there. a lot of the show was a commentary on LA culture and how it’ll swallow people.
there are a lot of parallels here but I’m sure it’s a coincidence, but it shows how right the series got it.
that show really hit me. I feel really bad for Matthew Perry, I didn’t know anything about his struggles until now and it’s really sad. the world really eats some people alive.
