Good News About Hell

All you need for an opening episode is a good enough hook that makes you want to know more about what is going on or what will happen next. Good News About Hell artistically presents some eery weirdness that possibly even has familiarity for people who work for faceless corporate entities. It makes me want to watch the next episode so I would say job done to the writers and filmmakers.

Visually it showcases strong cinematography and excellent art direction. I love the use of colour and symmetry. Lumon feels like a dystopian nightmare that George Orwell or Phillip K. Dick would appreciate thanks to the set design.

The plot of the first episode introduces the characters and premise will as little clunky exposition as possible. Certain little twists work very well and draws you into the more mysterious aspects. All actors do a solid job with the material.

Beautifully shot, the cinematography, the colors, all convey a muted tone. That tone is in harmony with the writing and dialog, then acted out incredibly well by the cast. Excellent production, writing, direction, and score. It all just really works, it's very compelling, and a bit mysterious.

Looking forward to seeing where this goes, absolutely no clue at this point, and that's a good thing.

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.

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.

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.
