I made the initial mistake of watching all of HBO’s voyeur forefront building’s storylines simultaneously. Immediately oversaturated with things to look at, the individual story lines required my gaze yet I could only offer them at most my glance. I ended up zooming in on a single story and focusing on that, acknowledging that I was not only missing the other plots, but also the way my story line was interwoven with others.
I then progressed to other parts of the city -- the Housewife scene in particular. While interacting with this story I was struck at how much was left unsaid. Snippets of lives were presented for our judgment, leaving me falsely feeling that I had more agency in determining their destinies. When the husband ended up getting killed (shown only by the wife dressing up the kids in black for the funeral) I felt frustrated at the lack of input I had, perhaps subconsciously confusing my desire for voyeurism for that of intervention.
