It's just fantastic.

« Last post by nacho on December 20, 2022, 09:50:18 AM »But the best show of 2022? I think it has to be Wednesday. Though I think it's the best simply because of the after-the-fact cultural phenomenon. It's one of those shows that was kind of quiet, then exploded into the memestream, and now that means season two is doomed because they'll never top the #wednesdaydance scene.

I can't say what movies it's ripping off without giving stuff away, though the move gives you way too much time to figure out what's going on. (A buddy of mine said he figured out "the twist" five minutes in, and I don't doubt it.)
Still, it's a gorgeous take on a story you've seen before. That Flo Pugh is pretty talented.
Never heard of it! Though I am about to watch Adult Swim's Yule Log right now, the current internet darling.

We are returning to masking as well, and avoiding large gatherings. Our plan is to hunker down and lay low this winter.
