Itās produced and created by a couple of producers of LOST and stars the actor who played Michael! It has similar elements to LOST but with a horror theme. It takes place in a small town in the middle of the forest that people find themselves in, trapped and unable to leave. They have to solve the mystery of the town and survive the bloodthirsty monsters that roam the streets at nightā¦ kind of corny with questionable acting at times but I love it. There have been a few genuinely terrifying moments that made me want to cry and the new season is really fun so far.
This absolute rollercoaster of a show tackles racism in America in the 50s through horror and fantasy. Itās honestly one of the wildest shows Iāve seen this year. For someone who grew up in New England, I couldnāt stop thinking about how the Jim Crow era was just 70 years ago. I really enjoyed how the storyline weaves in historical events often neglected in classrooms. Jordan Peele directed this show (with J.J. Abrams), and if youāve seen Us or Get Out, itās very on-brand for Peele. In addition to the amazing storyline, his choice of music for the show was impeccable. Fair warning though, nothing is off the table for this show, expect the unexpected (and a ton of gore).
PLEASE if u havenāt seen itā¦ u need to. its my first time watching through, and iām struck by how sincere this show is. iāve been feeling rly sick of irony / ironic media, and LOST is a balm of sorts, making me feel hopeful when nothing else is rn. the writers arenāt afraid to lean all the way in, into archetypes, absurdity, sweetness, dramaā¦. yeah, canāt recommend it more highly tbh
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebodyābe it a relative or one of my best friendsāwas to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too š
