I watch few fictional shows. My tastes are not really cut out for pop culture. But when someone told me Neo Yokio was "a six episode long dril tweet," I decided the Netflix anime series, created by Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig, would be worth investigating. So I watched the generally derided series with a few friends, and I realised this show wasn't actually bad -- instead, it was about us and the life that we lived.

When Netflix's new original anime Neo Yokio was released, it sparked a lot of negative reactions online for a giant Toblerone-sized handful of reasons. From the mind of Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig, Neo Yokio attempts to tackle a lot in six short episodes.

Netflix's original series Neo Yokio waffles between being an indictment of capitalism and a celebration of wealth. While it's charmingly written, I'm confused about what it wants to say about the wealthy and their pursuits.
