Just watched the previous episode and the first thing that came to mind was Joan & her fiancé discussing what to watch and a Scottish true crime show comes up as an option. How meta is that?

So, knowing this it makes sense that this episode has a gritty realistic feel film grain wise and in acting style. Shows that weird can be found in our reality and doesn't need gimmicks. This really capture our fascination with the irresistibility of the morose under the guise of seeking justice.

Then, back to discussing a Netflix show called The Waltonville Claw (sounds real, but not), in which the characters talk about it's commercial appeal...proof of our being numb to the terrifying. If the blood splays, it plays, right?

I've been binging several hallmark romances since the Covid lockdown started. A majority are, in my opinion, formulaic. Love, Classifieds is the first one that I've seen that is seems real. Less restrained, spontaneous, not-so-perfect-&-shiny. To me it's a refreshing take. Even this movie makes a statement about that. Love is unpredictable, murky, imperfect & real. So much more rewarding. Loved this movie! Highly recommend!

NOTE: Would love it if they made it a series. Just saying...
