  @arratoon@beige.party @onuryasar@mastodon.online @ishmaellasting@mastodonapp.uk I remember it was a year i complaining to a friend that i miss tv that let folks act with each other (as opposed to plot focused) and lo behold they aired the show as a answer to my prayer. they were indeed excellent in it.

  @RobAtk@mastodon.social No other choice was funnier than it had any right to be. absolute dark comedy done well. and the technical/craft aspects were so alluring. so many interestingly shot scenes.
