Season 1, Episode 3
6/10
Hey, Get Offa My Allegory!
11 April 2020
Sometimes captivating story with some genuinely creepy moments. Shot very nicely with good use of locations and lush production design. Derivative of...Donnie Darko, Halloween III, The Sixth Sense...well, name your poison. Works best as a horror/paranoia/satire, a la Roman Polanski's The Tenant...until the obligatory (and unnecessary) twist. This could almost (stress on the "almost") be the one you watch with your non-horror fan friend/partner without them occasionally rolling their eyes and saying "you don't need to pause it" while they go to the kitchen.
