Two episodes in. I really like the movies Brit Marling and Zal Batmanlijg (spelling?) have done together so I was pretty excited about this show. So far it's good but it hasn't really caught me yet.

it's a bit like their film "sound of my voice" (brti marling practically plays the same character) + "the leftovers" tv show, it's not as engaging as the former and not as well acted as the latter but it's deece nevertheless. there's a feel that they actually worked their story out, there's some kind of backbone that's revealing itself gradually, and it's not like lost or other similar crap with an army of writers where it feels like they just come up with shit practically on the fly. i also like how shamelessly new agey it is, it's somewhat cheesy but also refreshing at the same time.

an enjoyable stranger things for high school kids that worked for us because we got the pastiche of recognizable and beloved movies/films. that being said, i think the people who made the show might think it's on higher level than that.

 

anyway- i thought the best part was the parents and the threads around them. worth watching to the end. i'm curious about what folks think about the end.

yeh first two episodes were interesting.. liking this a lot more than stranger things. Pretty much the first thing I'm seeing on Netflix which doesn't suck.

but now i'm shaken to my core. my very being has been violated by this foul satanic ritual masquerading as television. these people are evil. god willing they will perish in the coming hellfire.

Seen all except the last episode...

 

so uh yeah this series is wrapped in a thick layer of cheese but tbh it's a quite good setup which allows for a non standard narrative. It's quite refreshing yea? Also acting, writing and execution are top tier and I enjoy every second (well maybe not the dancing)
