Finding Meaning in Apocalypse: An Existentialist View of 'Carol & The End of the World'

When watching 'Carol & The End of the World', the existentialist themes of the series stuck with me for longer than I was prepared for. Join me as I talk about the thoughts that Carol made me think.
Maybe if I was better at computer games, I wouldn't need to have all these stupid thoughts.
Yes I used the word 'thusly'. AND I'LL DO IT AGAIN!!!
