dropped it after ep and a half. Some good jokes but it drags as hell. This kind of writing is outdated as fuck. Feels like a meh show from 15-20 years ago

He is just a visiting reporter that writes an article that begins the story. He is never seen again since he flew and took a ferry to see the town to write a piece for the NY times.

There's a scene in the second episode that really shows it's being written by a native New Englander. When the mayor drags the crazy guy out of the inn and calls him a hick, and the townspeople watching all gasp. That's a real New England thing. Call me ugly and stupid or inbred all you want, but don't you ever call me hick or hillbilly. Those words are for worthless southerners, not us important northern folk even if we share the same characteristics as them.

sounds sort of similar to "midnight mass". might check it out

2nd episode was rough. Obvious twist anyone can see coming from a mile away and devoid of any fun because of it.

I agree it has some great actors, and a good premise. but the script leaves much to be desired.

You cant

>>220263193
It's an Apple TV show so I guarantee that they're going to never fully spell out exactly whether the town is haunted and keep it ambiguous and unresolved for 5 seasons, and half the episodes will be filler side-plots that seem consequential then return to status quo by the next episode

And he’s trying to pull the real “black guy in a horror movie” trope as originally pointed out by both Cosby and Eddie Murphy - doing everything in his power to get the fuck out of that creepy town.

>tfw “Don’t do it.”

>>220267282
Kek. I caught that too.
>>
>>220275108
Well, except for the teeth.
>>
>>220280825
No, pretty much all of them are their own unique brand of fuckup. And they’re sort of amalgams of popular horror characters. >>220265962, for example, is a mashup of Wendy Torrance from the Shining and Laurie from Halloween. The Mayor is a combo of the Mayor from Jaws and Ichabod Crane - a man hiding cowardice behind practicality. And Stephen Root’s character Wyck, is Captain Quint mixed with the crazy, bike-riding doomsayer from the first Friday the 13th. It’s some great shit.
>>
>>220263193
i watched the first two episides since i saw that Matthew Rice is in it and he is really good actor after i watched the beast in me or whatsitsname

show is good so far, i feel very entertained and i surprisingly enjoy the comdy but also horror elements

and the guy from barry is in it, he is also great

strong recommend
>>
>>220280983
I like you, anon. Let’s ride by the Old Hospital.
>>
For those of you who are enjoying the show, I recommend tracking down the old horror parody “Hysterical.” It’s a lot sillier and more slapstick, but I feel in my bones it was the inspiration for this.
>>
american small town vibes is so comfy, all the nice architecture and classic cars
>>
>>220280867
You clearly didn't see the 2 episodes. Stop making shit up.
>>
>>220263193
I like this show and School Spirits, which is another show that I'm shocked /tv/ is not watching after 3 seasons. Very comfy spooky show with good characters.
>>
Is the full season out?
>>
>>220280825
>Is every white male a dumb beta idiot and every female a smart girlboss?
actually, no. the biggest female role so far has been a nervous wreck of a woman who fails at getting something published despite working at it for weeks.
>>
>>220280867
>And he’s trying to pull the real “black guy in a horror movie”

It's actually the best genre there is when it's done well.

>>220263193
99% of the time when anons screech about discussions of something that’s either new or in the process of being released calling it a shill thread it’s because they’re autistic schizo’s. That said, something definitely does feel a bit off about this thread in particular kek

So by this logic...

Diverse cast = wokeslop

White cast = wokeslop

I think I'd rather pick the White cast.

There's blacks, and that's usually an auto off. I'm sick of you americunts shoving your shame in my face. But I had nothing else to pirate so I did.
I think it's ok, like a mixture of The Fog, Fargo and a little dash of Twin Peaks.
I have a feeling that it's not going to maintain and the ending is going to suck ass after the reveal. I will pirate the next episode.

I award this:

If there's gays or troons or any more nogs besides the sheriff or that reporter, I'm out.

It looks like some antology horror comedy about the mayor touring all the island classic horror tropes for tourism

Ep 2 had some clown serial killer in a hotel, boring as hell

That's not saying much thoughbeit. Personally, I find feminist shitslop and gay shitslop more annoying than race shitslop anyway, so just hearing a show is "mostly white" doesn't really assuage my concerns enough to watch this.

bump because I plan to watch this later tonight since some anons itt seem to like it
