Is it this writerly imagination that Easton Ellis is trying to develop or is there something really sinister at play?
And that's what you've got, this shiny kind of Beverly Hills 90210 aesthetic in that glazed, beautiful LA golden sunshine aesthetic and this more corrupt and disgusting horror story.
But it is that kind of itchy air of paranoia.
Something is beautiful in this beautiful place.
Something really rotten is happening.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Well, this is your Sunday evenings, Brendan, for the next 16 weeks.
In the next four months, this is a landmark collection of film adaptations of plays available on BBC4, most of which are accompanied by some kind of a documentary or an archive programme from the time.
Every Sunday for the next four months, acclaimed films, versions of...
John Osborne's The Entertainer, Carol Churchill's Top Girls, a pioneering play, a celebrated adaptation of J.B.
Priestley's An Inspector Calls, which was directed by Aisling Walsh, Michael Frayn's Copenhagen, Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood, over the next couple of weeks.
Seven decades of British and Irish post-war theatre, contemporary works, Selina Thompson's Salt, David Ireland's Cypress Avenue.
This is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in theatre from the couch, watching adaptations of these plays, some of which haven't been seen since their original broadcast.
Like you say, Brendan, a crash course at the end of it.
You'll be an expert.
I heard you talking about Murphy's Sunday Indo piece about the deaths of the Oscar winners, Glenn Hansard and Brenda Fricker.
Here he is again on Wednesday evening presenting a documentary that catches up on the 2015 marriage equality referendum.
At the time, the late journalist Charlie Bird conducted a series of interviews with a host of people up and down the country who were affected by the referendum.
And Colin Murphy used that material to write a play celebrating the successful passing of the resolution called A Day in May.
