I mean it’s definitely true that you don’t want everybody to see your big twist coming. You want them look back after the reveal and see the breadcrumbs, but not before that.

That said, if the only people figuring it out are insane Redditors then what the hell, who cares.

No, seriously... what kurds?!
Does Apple publish viewing data to their series? I'm curious about how much that 2 years (or more) delay between the season finale and the new one is going to affect who's going to continue watching. Because goddamn.

Only Apple knows. They don't publish the numbers and it's not a big enough part of their business that they'd legally have to.

None of the streaming companies share viewership data. Seeing those stats was actually one of the demands of the writers strike, and in the new agreement someone in the writers guild will get to see those numbers, as long as they never tell anyone.

And if that person reveals the numbers they have to become the ceo of the streaming companies butler.

You can't have it both ways though. If the breadcrumbs are there, someone is going to figure it out and you just have to make peace with that.

Yeah, the pieces should be there even if they’re not entirely obvious on a first viewing. I think the first time I watched Fight Club I knew something wasn’t quite right before the reveal and then on rewatches it’s still enjoyable and the clues stand out a bit more. That’s an example of a good twist, I think. A lot of streaming shows and movies throw out hinting at anything altogether and then it feels cheap and takes away any desire for a rewatch.

Shutter Island worked for me that way too. A million tiny little things I just didn't even notice on the first watch, but they're all plain as day the next time through.

I do but only because I've gotten older and mildly lactose intolerance, so now ice cream can upset my stomach. Prior to that they were about equal.

Have you had a fresh homemade chocolate chip cookie lately? They are pretty incredible and may rank higher than most iced creams.

This is an incredible package but I am kinda bothered that you don't seem to get an actual Defiant Jazz vinyl because that track is not from the OST. I'm still tempted though.

Randomly noticed Adam Scott is in some superhero movie trailer, checked out his credits, saw Party Down Season 3 is coming and this show Severance had a season out.

Found a streaming site around 1pm, checked out the 1st episode.

Just finished the 9th episode.

Goddamn.

Edit: Gonna read through this thread to see when folks started conjecturing about the twists/reveals. Feels like the good ol' days of Lost S1 thru S4 in TV/IV.

Just subscribe for a month and immediately cancel as soon as you are in. You paid, so you get the month, and you won't be charged again. Think of it like renting a video from blockbuster but you get it for a month.

I know that's not typically how we approach signing up for services but if you like party down the new season is definitely worth a month of whatever lovely streamer it's on.

I'll make do by putting the A side on that has the Defiant Jazz label and playing the actual song on another channel.

Jokes on both sides of me, wake up on the outside really bored and antsy, wondering what gym me is doing all day because neither of us would ever commit to it even if was the only thing to do. Probably set up some kind of fort near a TV using gym mats as walls.

I don't know if it would be the worst. As long as you get to do different workouts. You wake up, do an exercise, cool down, sit in the sauna, take a shower, get dressed and head out. Then you wake up fully refreshed and do another workout. You get to see results in real time the next time you wake up. You could probably get gym bros to reverse severance where the innie lives their normal lives and the gym bros get to make the gym be their entire existence.
