The acting Is mad good! 🙌🏼

My friend convinced me that it was a play on words and the show was about a talking horse that’s voted mayor of a small town.

Still haven’t watched it because I’m disappointed that isn’t the case.

Years ago a friend told me about The Truman Show, which I had never seen. He told me when Truman finds out what is going on, he goes in a rampage killing everyone.

I watched the whole movie waiting for him to snap, up until the credits rolled. He got me good.

Oh man, now that would’ve been an interesting turn of events. The Truman Show: The NC-17 cut.

You should watch Happy Valley if you haven’t already - both great

It’s really fantastic. Kate is awesome. Ending is phenomenal. One of the best shows I’ve seen in years.

And Sharp Objects, one of my all time single season dramas.

Just rewatched, can confirm. So good.

Imma probably catch hell- but I feel like this is one of those shows thats technically good, well written, twists, etc….

but its just too damn depressing and dark. You dont feel good after watching and its not a great experience.

I just cant go there these days. Same way I cant enjoy John Wick. Like just murder and guns. No.

I totally get it, my wife and I were kinda like “…well shit that was depressing” after the first episode, and I told her I really liked it, but that is appeared to be a story largely about shitty people in a shitty town that’s fucked”.

So I agree with your assessment. Also, having both a 4 and a 1 year old has also made some situations more relatable and/or difficult to watch.

This show is fantastic! Really there's too much good-to-great TV shows this past decade because somehow Mare of Easttown isn't on my mind every now and again. I should watch it again for sure

Sharp Objects is amazing the editing style in it was so unique and perfect

Ageed, but let's keep it to ourselves and not tell mama.

I wouldn't even really call it depressing and dark, tbh. I watched it because someone told me it was "similar to true detective" and I felt kind of like It'd been lied to; the show's mystery was easily predicted, and the cast of characters didn't really have much charisma about them. Not that the acting isn't good or anything - it's just a show about people who suck. Everyone's shit. And sometimes that's a good watch, but I bounced right off of it because of it.

i can see that

It's a detective show, it's about murder and deception, it's supposed to be dark.

You should check out Murderville though, it's hilarious.
