adj
-
Characterized by mania or craziness; wicked.
“Reuniting the cast of Trainspotting for a new adventure 21 years on could have gone badly. The BBC's misjudged This Life + 10, bringing the cast of the iconic 90s TV drama back together, is a case in point. But [Danny] Boyle and his four musketeers give it just the right frantic, jaded energy and manic anxiety.”
