One the things I'm really loving about Consume Me is how unmistakably it takes place in NYC, in subtle but detailed and grounded ways. Reading on the subway, going on dates at museums, the manhattan mall, doing laundry in the basement. I grew up here too, and I never see the city shown like this.

Suburbia is SO pervasive in media depictions of American life, and childhood/high school life especially. You never to get to see urban life generally, and New York specifically, depicted with these sorts of happy and poppy pastels. It isn't gritty and grey, living here rules!
