“Though she returned to school, Rhonda did not come back,” Bret Easton Ellis gravely intones near the start of this episode of FX’s The Shards. “What she felt, she felt alone. The world was lost to her, and her to it. “I deeply related to this feeling,” he concludes. I’m sorry, but this show is a goddamn scream.
