Captivating.
Hitchcockian pacing. Kubrickian framing and lighting. Precision direction, great casting, acting, and editing. No scene so short that it rushes or overruns the carefully crafted pace nor too belabored so as to induce boredom or afford one time for distraction lest they miss something - it's hypnotic. Tramelll Tillman is scary pitch perfect. The addition of Christopher Walken was a genius move to add the perfect amount of possible absurdity or red herring (I don't yet know which). Then one is fed the soul bending weight of the corporate psychosis inducing indoctrination. The scene with Ms Casey felt unsettlingly too familiar.
Kudos to the audio people. I've not heard a modern soundtrack that so perfectly integrates and balances the very intelligible dialog, the incredibly well mixed music and artfully stated sound effects. The highly crafted sound space is a joy to experience in quality headphones - award worthy in my humble (but professional opinion).
The show had me at "Who are you?" It's an audio/visual/theatrical work of art. But I'm beginning to suspect that after only three episodes, watching any further may be detrimental to my mental health. The psychological weight of what the characters endure is palpable.
