Maniac: The Sympathetic Sci-Fi

In 2018, Netflix released an ambiguous trailer about two individuals that volunteer themselves to undergo a pharmaceutical testing trial. What made this sci-fi preview interesting was it had something to offer. There were tense images of what was to become of these characters we haven't met yet, what made them want to be here, the ending of the trailer had Emma Stone dressed in a 1920's outfit. That was a unique twist to keep my intrigue, and I anticipated what questions would be answered when I watched it.
