I see a theme here. Dan has had mental issues in the past and the grad student that films absolutely everything apparently has mental issues as well. Who films an AC/radiator for 30 seconds and then talks to it? WTF? It makes noise. It's a side effect of cooling/heating... Then we have composer-chick that is also more than a little off... who can't remember if they have lived someplace for 6 years? It isn't like you are trying to remember something from when you were 2...
And what is up with her description of oral history? That has got to be the most convoluted way of saying she wants to hear stories from the tenants... "a collection of historical information about a group of people or a place using first-person interviews"... GMAFB. Can she please meet her untimely end soon? Also, Dan, digitize the damn tape and stop running it back and forth. Watch the digitized copy instead! What type of archivist are you?
So while the characters are annoying, I am a huge fan of the style and pacing. Slow and methodical. Each scene is given its time to play out. None of the modern superfast pacing B.S.. that is 95% action and 5% story. This show reminds me of the storytelling style used in the 70s. It nails the storytelling and cinematography aspects.
I am loving Ariana Neal, though. Jess is a great character. She actually has good dialogue, too.
