I am convinced I am the only person who likes this show. If you're going in blind expecting a dramatic thriller, you're probably not going to like this one at all, but to explain why I need to go into mild spoilers, nothing about the overall plot/twists.
☢️ MILD SPOILERS ☢️
I am a big fan of Kristen Bell, I am a big fan of murder mysteries, and I don't mind dramas. But even then, I probably would not have liked this show if I went in blind. All you should know going into this series is that it's a parody. The first seven episodes take themselves very seriously but everything is exaggerated and it's a very subtle kind of satire until the end. I treated the first seven episodes as an insane and exaggerated murder mystery/thriller and the last episode as a pure parody and I loved it.
Again, no spoilers for the actual story because we would be here all day, it is insane, and as you may expect by now the tone is a bit all over the place, but this is a show you shouldn't take seriously even if it's refusing to tell you it's in on the joke until the end. And of course, Kristen Bell is phenomenal in this show. This isn't an incredible, groundbreaking series and I can't blame you if you hate it, but this is exactly what I was in the mood for today and I'm glad I watched it all in one go.
So, if you think you'll like it based on what I said, go watch it on Netflix now. And while you're there, why not watch Daredevil. And Stranger Things. And Tick, Tick... Boom!. And The Mitchells VS the Machines. And Marriage Story. And Bojack Horseman. Not sure how many people have even been keeping track of this joke.
