  • I think this show stands out more than it normally would at the moment because 99.9% of current TV is absolute dogshit. It’s not high art but it’s made with attention to detail, effective use of style and a coherent sensibility that’s not just “here’s more slop.”

    I do kind of miss the simplicity of s1 (which I admired for finding a great way to capture the unreality of office life and the feeling of “going to work”) but I’m down for where things are headed. My only concern is that in the post-Lost landscape showrunners seem a little too eager to demonstrate they’re going to cross every t and dot every i, and not leave the viewer hanging on any mysteries…personally I like a little ambiguity and lingering mystery. Hopefully they don’t feel the need to didactically over-explain.

    Pretty funny to learn that the show’s creator used to work for a company that made doors.
