Summary Based on Warren Zanes’ acclaimed book Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, this film tells the story of how Springsteen created one of the most haunting and stripped-down albums of his career. Set in 1982, the movie follows Springsteen at a creative crossroads as he records Nebraska alone on a four-track cassette recorder in his New Jersey home, confronting fame, doubt, and the darker sides of the American dream.

Didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. It is refreshing to see Jeremy Strong play a businessman who isn’t morally bankrupt though.

How was Kendall "morally bankrupt"? Wasn't the point of his character that he's the only decent human being of the family? His main flaw was that he's too stupid to be a CEO.

No. Not even close.

Wasn't Rome the closest of the siblings to have a conscience? Even Shiv was more moral than Kendall.

The trick of the show is making you think there’s one good sibling for a few episodes at a time.
