        Young prince deals with an existential crisis while his widowed mother marries his uncle (who we don\u2019t like by the way) and his father\u2019s ghost visits him every now and then to spook him into avenging his death. And of course, his solution to it all is (drumroll please) to pretend to go all nuts, procrastinating on killing his uncle, accidently stabbing the wrong dude, dramatically harassing his mom, driving his ex to insanity, and talking to himself instead of taking action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
