It's definitely an uncomfortable and painful show for 95% of the screen time, but I couldn't help but love the writing, acting, cinematography, soundtrack and pretty much everything else. I really wasn't sure how much I liked the finale and it's particular kind of left turn (don't spoil it) but now that I'm about a week out from seeing it I think it's an incredibly strong finish.
I'm curious what anyone else thought of it.
I loved it. I'm not sure how to recommend and A24-style series about an HGTV show that's full of realistically uncomfortable moments about mostly unsympathetic people, but like you said the writing, acting (emma stone was brilliant), cinematography, soundtrack were all pretty great.
You spend most of the series wondering what the hell it's all leading up to, and I thought what they pulled off with the ending was amazing. Kafkaesque would be the best way I could describe it.
