Good News About Hell

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.

This is just a fantastic concept. Concept alone is a big factor here. But then the way it was introduced and how it all unfolded to give you the info to grasp how it all works was expertly done.

Adam Scott gives a tremendous performance.

Ben Stiller's direction is impeccable.

It's so good that I'm afraid it can only get worse.

But it has the potential to be a great show. I hope it is.

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.

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.

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!!
