I ...I saw this show recently and really enjoyed it. I don't normally watch random stuff that shows up in my feed, unless I've heard buzz about it, which I hadn't, but something about it just called to me.<br /><br />Admittedly I am not a horror aficionado in the first place, but this show actually changed the way I see horror, and the relationship between horror, disgust, camp, and other forms of emotional manipulation in storytelling, in a way that has had me really inspired since.<br /><br />Without spoilers, I do think, the show starts out one way, and as things develop, I mostly kind of preferred what the show was to where it went, for several reasons that I don't want to comment on because spoilers, but anyway, I still really enjoyed it on the whole.<br /><br />It reminded me a bit of Doom Patrol, another show I was very inspired by. There was a certain kind of urban magical realism that was popularized by Vertigo (I think) and later watered down, but I've been excited to see, I think just within the last couple years or so, what I think is a new kind of urban magical realism, one that I have also been thinking quite a bit about.maxcan7https://www.blogger.com/profile/12504030224075149157noreply@blogger.com
