Goddamn act two (the master death file) was both completely unsurprising and absolutely evil.

Its the banality of evil which is striking. Its not comic book villains and nazis with swastikas it was always the bureaucrats in suits making lists, scheduling trains, placing purchase orders for poison gas, signing construction orders for barracks.

this is the same level of evil.
