This show has such a good soundtrack.
I thought the uncertainty of this made this a lot more interesting than an episode comprised of flashbacks might otherwise be.
I for one am bidding for a Mike Ehrmentraut / Kenton series. Too bad they’re on different networks.
It was confusingly shot, but it also felt appropriate for a desperate but tired old man fight.
He’s good at monsters that dissolve people’s bodies too. I think the unifying feature is unease and creeping horror in a technological milieu.
The narrative might have been leisurely and expositional, but that soundtrack was mesmerizing from start to finish. I’d put that episode just for background listening with regularity.
Interesting to think: the flashbacks we see are not the show’s main reality. They are perhaps a similar one, but not the main one. So it begs the question: did anything we see in those flashbacks actually happen (or close enough to be negligibly different), or were they miles off? For that matter is the future they…
The WTF opening! The quantum theory! The death of Amaya... A filler episode redeemed by the end. Person in bathtub with water... I was waiting for you know what.
Oh I love this show. I feel like this was trying to be episode nine of the Twin Peaks the return. Heavily are directed with backstory
Sidenote: I love it when they bring in a disabled actor to play a character whose disability is not a focal point in any way, you know, like how we encounter people in real life. Remains a rarity to see that on tv, even if it is just a guest character.
Is there a part of the multiverse where Lily wears a bra? Cause in this timeline she seems to be allergic to them.
Damn! That is one freakin’ dangerous intersection!!! A minor point, I guess, but it looked to me as if Forest’s wife rolled through a stop sign while the other driver totally ignored their stop sign and just plowed full-on through the intersection. Note that it says “ALL WAY” below the stop sign. I’m not sure what to…
I was impressed with the less-than-subtle nod to technology-as-witchcraft or occult that the first extrapolation scene presented. That, perhaps, what is at stake here isn’t so much an ability to ‘objectively perceive’ the universe (whether many worlds or not), but instead how these perceptions - and the technology we…
Alex Garland’s aesthetic is creepy tech weirdos murdering underlings in coniferous settings. Really digging these first two episodes.
Awful?!
We are NOT friends!
This looks excellent, and after I saw “Old Man and the Gun”, I’ll watch anything Lowery had a hand in making.
Had I been able to smack Joe Pesci in the head with a can of paint when I was six years-old, I would be well-adjusted now, too.
I love the fact Mack has turned out this way. He just comes across on podcasts, interviews and his own Bunny Ears, as a really nice relaxed dude, who knew what was important to him and he went and got it. Fair Play. I’d love to have lunch and a pint with him. a great interview.
I must be older and not as high as I used to be, because this misses my sweet spot entirely, which is surprising because at this stage I’m almost entirely sweet spot.
