How is this different from a soap opera?
>>220657989Its not made for women, therefor it has effort and soul
>>220657989It's meta.
>>220658013Women love the show.
>>220657989It was a tasteful series form a better time. A mysterious antagonist would never beg to consume feces or indulge in fellatio.
>>220657989it's for intelligent people like me
>>220657989it's a show made with care and attention
>>220657989It's a soap opera with surrealism. It's okay.
>>220658069Yes and it isnt made for them. Soap operas are made for female audiences. Twin Peaks was not made FOR womenWomen love MJ, they also love Back Street Boys. See the difference?
>>220658301Then why is all the focus on everyone cheating on everyone and getting into relationships?
>>220657989it has david lynch's name attached to it and he throws shit at a wall every other episode. really excites women and teenage boys.
>>220657989It doesn't have any of the stylistic characteristics of a soap opera because it doesn't have the format of a soap opera. Soaps air like 200+ episides a year and the style is because of that. The circular conversations that go on multiple episodes is because storylines go for a week with a big reveal or cliffhanger at the end of the week and there'll be 3 or 4 storylines per week. Also soaps tend toward hour two hour time slots very rarely 30 minute time slotsStop calling regular 20 episode season shit "soap operas", they aren't >>220658013Its made for anyone who might be susceptible to advertising because that's all it is
>>220658084There's nothing "tasteful" about that evil garbage Kill yourself >>220658144>>220658125It is not a show, it is an advertisement Kill yourself >>220658177Kill yourself
>>2206579891) It's self aware.2) It ridicules soap operas3) It's filled with extremely dark subtext4) It's actually really really good.5) The characters are all deranged in a subtle (and some not so subtle) way.etc
>>220657989soap operas fucking rule dork
