Good News About Hell

1st episode down.

Avoided spoilers. Love watching a new show where I have no idea where it's going.

By end of episone one I have zero clue and eagerly moving onto next episode.

Can't wait to see where this is going, hope it doesn't disappoint.

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.

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.

Adam Scott is fantastic! I only previously knew him from his role in Parks and Recreation. I love that more comedy actors are stepping into the drama genre (Bill Hader, Adam Sandler) He has a great dynamic with his sister and is captivating to watch.

Beautifully shot and cleverly written, this is a very solid opener to a show I can't wait to watch more off!!
