Em que ano o Maniac deveria acontecer?

5
Os maníacos ocorrem em uma realidade alternativa, onde a história e o estado atual da tecnologia não combinam com a nossa realidade. Entre as incongruências, vemos:

A extra 'Statue of Extra Liberty' which looks nothing like the real one
Pervasive green CRT monitors
Microfilm/slide-based technology
1970/80s Speak & Spell-style voice synthesis.

mas também

Robots which clean up after pets on the street
(Probably advanced) pharmaceutical technology

Temos uma indicação dentro ou fora do universo sobre o suposto ano da série?

Oficialmente eles disseram:

Set in a world somewhat like our world, in a time quite similar to our time

E de thrillist :

"To me, it's not our timeline," Somerville says. "It's our zeitgeist of 2018 and it's a different history of technology. It's a different kind of version of our reality. So 2018 zeitgeist, but a world where the microchip was never invented, maybe something like that." Nothing else made clear in or out of universe. IT's just seems like take place in an alternate present reality.

     

Somerville explica que ele e Fukunaga estavam procurando a "versão analógica" das tendências que seriam familiares para o público de hoje.

Portanto, é apenas um momento alternativo no momento.

No episódio 6, cerca de 27 minutos do episódio, Dra. Greta Mantleray, a mãe do Dr. James Mantleray pergunta: "Em que ano você nasceu?" ao que o Dr. James Mantleray responde: "1977". O ator que interpreta o Dr. James Mantleray, Justin Theroux, nasceu em 1971. A partir disso, eu diria que a série acontecerá por volta de 2018, mais ou menos alguns anos.

Algumas outras citações relevantes vêm de esta entrevista com o show de corredor Patrick Somerville:

Patrick Somerville, who wrote all 10 episodes of the drama, told The Hollywood Reporter that this bleak vision of New York was foundational to how he and new James Bond director Cary Joji Fukunaga approached Maniac.

"One of the first conversations Cary and I had about the show was about the representation of reality — not just the delusional landscapes, but the actual reality of the show — being a little off, and a little heightened. We knew that we wanted to have this absurdist tone where anything is possible, but the emotional stakes were relatable. To me, it's our zeitgeist, but it's just a different history of technology. It's the universe where Betamax won and Steve Jobs got hit by a bus, or where a number of arbitrary things led to a slightly different series of events between the early 1980s and now."

que parece sugerir que este é um dia presente divergente.

In one standout absurdist moment in this wonky New York, a tour guide points out a winged "Statue of Extra Liberty" across the water (seen above). "New York needed more liberty!" Somerville joked, before offering a clarification. "I saw some people writing about it, and that is actually not the harbor. The camera is pointing north in that shot, so in the Maniac world, the Statue of Liberty still exists, and the Statue of Extra Liberty also exists. Someone decided that we needed another one."
