After seeing Knives Out, Glass Onion, and the first episode of this, I feel like I’ve finally nailed Johnson’s particular sub-subgenre of neonoir: retro pastiche postmodern camp. There’s something very calming about how predictable the story is even as the narrative’s presentation swerves all over the map. His mysteries are ultimately howdunnits focused on the fun of the performance and the elegance of the solution, just as Columbo was, and I find that somehow very comforting, even if its simplicity doesn’t necessarily dazzle me or break the mold. Looking forward to more after a long workday or night out. 😊
