“Your brain plays all kinds of tricks on you when you’re overseas. Tells you all kinds of fucked-up shit.”
The motormouth veteran unlucky enough to pick Bryan as a seatmate on the bus to New York, a man who both looks and sounds like the voice track in a Godspeed You! Black Emperor single, knows exactly what constant stress and trauma does to the human mind, but as he says wistfully near the episode’s midpoint, “They wouldn’t want me now, even though I’d go back if I could.” The human urge to suffer, whatever the driving reason might be, is at the heart of ‘Cannon Fodder,’ but the episode doesn’t so much ask why it happens as it does let us lean in close and stare with frightened fascination at the people doing it.
There are causes, sure. Distrust is law among the ballerinas, as...

“It’s no big deal. I lost a toenail.”
The smeared boundary line between art and obsession has been rich storytelling fodder since long before Darren Aronofsky’s bloated Black Swan - perhaps the most obvious point of comparison for Flesh and Bone - plié-d joylessly into movie theaters. A new eight-episode Starz miniseries from Breaking Bad veteran Moira Walley-Beckett(writer of Ozymandias, maybe the most viciously tense hour of television in recent memory), Flesh and Bone is a rotten toenail hidden in a sylph-like pointe shoe. The premiere, Bulling Through, digs into wide-eyed and not-so-innocent runaway Claire Robins’ (Sarah Hay) first few days at the American Ballet Company, an exclusive performing academy at the heart of and yet austerely apart from a towering and indifferent vision of New York City.
Each of the series’ eight episodes is named after a piece of military jargon or parlance, heightening the impression that every room,...
