Haven't seen anyone mention Severance, which is one of my more recent obsessions. Everyone I watched the first episode with bounced off pretty hard, saying it was too weird. Man the payoff is amazing though, everything slowly ramping up to a crescendo in the final couple of episodes. Highly recommended if you like early Black Mirror.
Severance is an amazing show on every level. Writing, casting, acting, design... every single facet is brilliantly executed. The season finale was insane. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
I haven't felt this excited for a second season premiere since the second season of Lost.
Not to mention Ricken. He may be one of my favorite fictional characters ever. He's an endless well of brilliantly mindless quotes:
If you're as obsessed as I am, you should check out the Severed podcast by Allen Stare. Dude does a DEEP dive into each episode and it's a great companion to the show.
Right on, I'll check it out. I've also watched a lot of Nautilus Files on YouTube. He does some great character and theory breakdowns.
And agreed on Ricken being an amazing character (caricature?). The fact that >!the severed employees find his book and it becomes their new Bible!< was so perfect.
