Not every story about Jewish identity needs to go there.
as Alan is forced to dig a grave for a victim he watched Sam murder, powerless to intervene. Alan imagines himself walking through a row of Auschwitz bunks with Jews in striped prisoner uniforms staring back at him. Watching this for the first time I was both struck by the profound trauma represented and uncomfortable with the disjointed turn in the narrative. Five episodes into the series and no groundwork for this shocking display had been laid.
The writers give Alan no personal background or direct connection to the Holocaust. Sure, as an American Jew of a certain age he could have a relationship with the Holocaust and would definitely have learned about it. But to link it so strongly and deeply in his psyche to his current trauma just because he’s a Jew is lazy. Why Auschwitz? Why gas chambers? It is an unfortunate mishandling of such powerful and evocative imagery.
