My problem is that after watching Kayba, I expect the director to do the same great psychological work, but in the end I just look at the same drawing. Psychology, of course, is enough in every director's work, as well as mozgovynos, but the plots are incredibly different, as if they were made by different people. The claws turned out to be another metaphor for adulthood, but if I did not understand the author's intention, or if the author was not allowed to bring the idea to logic, it is not clear. This is the first work of his for me that I did not understand at all. I'll try to figure it out.
There are flesh eaters, there are ordinary people, there is an organization that fights against the eaters. There are several accents:
1) Love between a human fighter against eaters and the eater himself. Very hackneyed. Of course, it's great that they showed not only love and disclosure of the situation, but also how they worked on their relationship, what problems they overcame, in addition to specific ones. How they fought for each other. This is positioned as the main part of the plot, but this is clearly not enough for the author.
2) Focus on the relationship between fathers and children, human growth, career. How the family business is accepted or not accepted, what difficulties they face during modernization and investment. The work accent was good, but it died quickly, it didn't mean anything in the last episodes.
3) Focus on the monkey. It represented sarcasm and ridicule of patterns. In general, in the second series it was very funny and the monkey took over the whole finale.
4) Emphasis on lust. Sex is one of the main themes of the director's work, as well as our lives. He shows how disgusting people are, what actions they do for sex, for recognition, for power over another person.

There was clearly something else there, but the deeper I drip, the lower I fall into the pit of misunderstanding. The series is amazing and challenging. And maybe not at all what I think it is.

@Lena_Honcharenko: plus to the drawing. I've watched a lot of things, but it's really hard done here.

That is, we don't want to use modern weapons, but a modern rocking chair is welcome.

I also agree with the opinion about the drawing, it's just terrible.
