i've only watched 2 episodes so far but it's good, sort of like korean Battle Royale meets Saw (but not in a horror-ish way) except indebted adults instead of 8th (?) graders

reminds me of how the xmen movies had a spinoff trilogy that was just more wolverine as if the existing trilogy had bothered to develop any character except for wolverine

I guess this genre is going to see a revival.

It's a really well made show, but that actually makes it more disappointing that there isn't much else to say about it. The ideas aren't really explored much. The mystery and twist both fizzle out. I'd enjoy another show with the same quality of production but better writing.

Has this thread discovered Midnight Mass yet?

I love Rahul Kohli but I hope he escapes Mike Flanagan soon - he plays the sheriff and has to attempt an American accent during a 5 minute monologue about being inspired to become a cop by 9/11 (only to experience racism within law enforcement).

Yeah, it's solid. I have a few criticisms of it like the fact the drug dealer's mother's confrontation with the sheriff doesn't actually have any payoff, since apparently the sheriff is terrible at his job, but overall it was pretty good. Even the characters that get killed off early tend to have full character arcs, which is rare in shows like this.

Rahul Kohli's performance was great, though I think the role left something to be desired for the reason you mentioned as well as others.

no idea, maybe some tumblr related readings of the show? can't imagine that significantly contributed to the resurgence. funny that that person (who i apparently follow) doesn't name any of the queer writers they're referencing

really slow start, but the last 3 or so episodes are fantastic. the show could really use some editing tho, so many scenes that go on for waaaaay too long, and many of them could be cut altogether. poor rahul gets the worst of it. the 9/11 scene sucks, but also his argument with bev about islam and christianity is easily the worst scene in the show
