Really truly baffled/annoyed at the lack of attention this show is getting.. everyone should be talking about this. Could be triggering to some, so read up and tread lightly if you think itd hit too hard. But I really was blown away at the bravery of Richard Gadd (who wrote this based on his own experience/life and played himself/a character of himselfā¦!!) and was crying sooo bad at the last two episodes ā¦ so utterly devastating, confusing, a shock to the system, but to me that definitely falls into the category of good TV. Especially these days where I feel Netflix shows are .. what youād expect Netflix shows to be. So fucking good ššššš

This show is so well-made and effective but itās making me feel viscerally uncomfortable and physically sick when I watch it which is a testament to the skill of everyone involvedā¦

I technically went into this show blind as I had not really looked too much into it, and now after watching it I HAVE to say that it was not at all what I expected. I started the first few episodes and then proceeded to tell some coworkers that it was "making me feel giddy", due to all the gooey romance. BUT GOSH!!! did it take a turn.. by the end of the show I was uncontrollably sobbing..
But I will say, definitely worth a watch!

Ok so to start I saw Benedict cumberpatch was in it and not like excited about that but he did good so ig I canāt say anything LOL now for the actual review:
This was NOT what I expected, but like in a great way. I thought this was going to be one following detectives and police and idk just like other crime shows but it was much cooler.
It follows Vincent, the creator/a pupeteer in a childrenās show who is also a shitty dude and shitty father, makes everyone miserable, but it seems like his son still looks up to him. But his home life isnāt great, his parents have loud arguments where things get thrown, his dad has a bad attitude towards him, etc. One day Vincint is asked to walk his 9 year old son to school, but he doesnāt and he goes missing. In a New York prior to cell phones, the story takes place in a time where we still see cases of racism, homophobia, corruption, and a large homeless population rumored to be hiding underground. Regretting his choices but still not getting along with his wife, the perspective changes between multiple characters and their search to find Edgar. Full of this regret for how he treated his son the night before and day of, we watch this father spiral, go back to his bad habits, and hallucinate the character his son has created.
Thereās a lot more to it, but Iām worried my phones ab out to crash and donāt want to spoil bht it was really interesting and good, I would recommend it!

š©øafter having an ovarian cyst for a while and finding out 4 months later that THATS why I was feeling deranged and horrible all the time I canāt get this thought (truth) out of my head ā hormones are kind of everything! period cycles interest me so much now in a way they didnāt before bc I can clearly see the effects of them on our psyches/energy. for example I can always tell when a friend of mine is ovulating or PMSing. now Iām 24/7 yapping about menstruation/womenās health to all my friends.. or anyone who will listen really. mind-body connection fr fr
OUT: thinking that asking about periods is rude; men Tiptoeing around the subject of periods; discounting what hormones do to our bodies and minds !!!!

āI liked finding out that this is a word/thing cuz I totally relate. I just love (going to or hosting) events (apartment housewarmings, dj sets, dinners, breakfasts, movie nights, whatever it may be..). if it's a thing that's happening and I'm with/inviting friends, it's An Event idc!

šŖBy just having some time to myself to smoke a j alone and vibe in my room. Have not done this in years, didnāt smoke for a while either (classic reasons, anxiety etc) but itās been fun to see myself as more grown up since I last did this. kind of feels like convening with a past self and being like - yes life is weird but that means that anything goes and thatās great, Iām having fun š«¶š¤·āāļø
