Twitter Capsule: Not the simple fiasco I expected; a weirder failure. Ponders but refuses a more complex take. Seems bored by actual riot?

VOR:   Look, they tried. That's one thing. This isn't value-less as an attempt, nor as a cautionary example of almost everything not to do when telling a story like this. Fascinatingly maladroit.
