Thanks for the heads up! @susan, we might want to hold off for when we are particularly happy and need to take it down a notch…
After this season I’m gonna rewatch and discuss each and every episode! It’s pretty fun, and it also counts a half-decent zeitgeist index: the writers draw on a lot of current events to pad out their stories, so while each one somehow connects to a murder, we can deep dive on any thread and remind ourselves of the calamities all around us.
And I don’t really know where to post this otherwise, but if folks were looking for media to not watch with @maiki (and @susan, 'cause I know eir tastes), Black Mirror and The Mist (the movie) are at the top. I’m not sure I can point it out, but I’d say it was something like, “extreme trauma” that I avoid.
So far Twilight Zone has been purely a mindfuck, and hasn’t gone out of it’s way to draw out those moments I find frightening. Actually, the one with Adam Scott was more funny than stressful, because, well… Adam Scott.
