Spoiler!

I'm not sure if the different incarnations we've seen of The Demon with the Yellow Eyes (Benny, Lenny, King, The World's Angriest Boy in the World, and TDWTYE) are kind of cover identities that have been adopted over the years as David matured, or personas in David's mind that the "parasite" has usurped.

I think that Lenny was established as "real" in the pilot, and then her persona was absorbed into David's mind. When the persona was taken over by the parasite is unclear to me, but it seemed to happen almost immediately.

I'm not sure if the scenes we've seen of the crowds surrounding David and yelling at him are supposed to represent his telepathy being out of control and being able to hear everyone's thoughts...or if they represent his personas trying to assert control over him. In re-watching the episodes, it seems like there are more and more people surrounding him as we progress through his history.

I'm still not entirely convinced (though I am 95% convinced) that all of the characters we've met, Division 3, the war that's going on, etc. is actually real. It's probably real. But the characters could all be personas in David's mind and the war is also for David's mind. Maybe?

I like that the show is ambiguous and sparks lots of thoughts without hand-holding the viewer through the first six episodes. I expect a lot will be revealed in the final two episodes of Season 1, but there's so much more potential for ongoing stories in Season 2 and beyond that I'm pretty sure more questions will also be raised.

And good god is Lenny (Aubrey Plaza) terrifying in this show. That whole montage of her before returning to Clockworks in episode six was just amazing.
