the music is handmaid's tale level, which is an extremely low bar for an HBO show

It rules, though?

Those movies are also pretty much entirely his artistic vision as opposed to being one of many cooks in the kitchen or just a producer.

The show is good and I like it, warts and all.

People pinned their expectations on it and then didn’t like when it didn’t meet them/was something else.

I really like the part where everyone cried constantly and nothing happened an hour and 45 minutes after the kids head unrealistically popped off because the mom forced her 18 year old kid to take a 13 year old kid to a high school party where they were making a walnut (?) cake that a girl with nut allergies ate knowing full well she has nut allergies and also the girl was only in the movie in the first place because the hack director saw an ugly girl and wanted to exploit her because she had like 5 lines of dialogue and made a creepy noise. Toni Collette deserves an Oscar for screaming and crying for two hours while playing the most unlikeable character among other unlikeable, unbelievably stupid characters. The best part is how all these unrealistic, stupid choices were validated by a throwaway line at the end that a ~cult made them do it~

Holy gently caress this thread sucked before but now I wish I could burn it down jfc

I could seriously accept almost all those arguments even if I disagree with them, but he can’t shoot?

Hereditary and Midsommar (which I don’t even like) are both gorgeously shot movies.

They're not and you like a hack but that's okay if people don't agree with my perception on Ari Aster films. I just want to get it out there that the thing you like is actually bad.

I said right in the very post I don’t even like Midsommar, for heavens sake fella.

It is gorgeous at times though.

I have to agree that the main storyline is lacking and through the first half of the episode I was hoping for something bonkers to happen like the last couple of episodes.

They promptly delivered, but it can’t be a good thing that so many of us are bored with the actual plot.

The acting is top notch all around. The scene between Tic and Montrose in the hallway was *chefs kiss* from a performance perspective.

Show worth watching? I remember when it first aired, people liked it, then disliked it after 2 or 3 episodes. I'm not too terribly picky as long as there is some interesting stuff going on. I liked Raised By Wolves, even if the ending was frustrating, fwiw.

Show is good.
