Good News About Hell

I really like the offbeat unsettlingly feeling that the show constantly gives off, you never feel like things are how they should be. It always feels like some thorn mysterious and sinister is going on and it keeps you interested. The details that they show you only raise more questions and it makes me very interested in what comes next.

When I first came to check reviews, back when the show first dropped, it was mostly people that said nothing happens, 60 minutes of nothing, boring, etc. So I waited and didn't expect much. But finally I decided to give it a go, and I heartily disagree with those reviews.

There is an underlying...something. There are nuances. I suppose someone who needs everything spelled out might miss out, but if you enjoy creepy and weird, and you can be patient... this is worth a watch. It has elements that remind me of films like Joe vs the Volcano, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Being John Malkovich.

It's not nearly as brilliant as Dispatches from Elsewhere, but I am looking forward to learning more.

By the way, anyone who says it's just people walking back and forth in white hallways...or that "literally nothing happened"...didn't watch the whole episode.

To be fair, I'm only one episode in. But I'll definitely be back for the next.

I didn't expect it to start the way it did, the first minute it I felt the show was going to be a different level show nothing like a ted lasso. The direction is simple but the writing is extraordinary for a first episode. The music the camera all feel natural to what's going on. Ben stiller ! This is going to be a great show.

Really enjoyed the first 2 episodes, although the pacing feels a bit slow and methodical but I think it's intentional. Keeps the monotony feeling uneasy for a reason. I can't wait to see what they do next. Visually well crafted, acting is great.

This show starts out slow (much slower then you would think) but the cinematography draws you in as you are introduced to the world and it's characters. Sort of reminds me of a Wes Anderson film in a lot of way. So if you enjoy those then you will probably want to at least check out the first episode of this.
