Reception
John Boland of the Irish Independent claimed the series became "more religious in thrust and tone as it progressed". He described the episode featuring Neil Jordan as a "bizarre encounter", in which the writer and filmmaker "grew more and more bemused" as Byrne questioned him in great detail about his religious faith. Jordan answered such questions as "Do you think your religion might return to you on your deathbed?" and "Do you think there's a day of reckoning?" with "I really haven't got a clue" and "I don't know, Gay" but when he commented that "every time I'm in a plane and it's hit by lightning I bless myself", Byrne replied "Hah!", as if, according to Boland, Jordan had "just revealed a basic faith in the Catholic Almighty rather than a reflex reaction to imminent catastrophe".

The Meaning of Life
by: Leng Tch'eOne night my mom was drinking in a bar
she told me to sit down and listen to her story
she's telling me my conception
came when they were both tipsy
that's why I was put on this earth
because you motherfuckers were both drunk
but what she's really trying to say is
that I'm just not wanted here
no one welcomed me to this earth
nobody wants to have me here
I feel like I'm all alone
what the fuck did I do wrong?!?
long time ago I had a depression
My father's trying reverse psychology
he's telling me I cost too much
so I propose him to jump off a cliff
and what he answers then is
"No you don't have to go that far"
but what he's really trying to say is
