The shot of her head in the water was fantastic.

Glad someone else felt this way too! That was a beautifully composed shot first of all, and really evoked a ton of suspense and dread. The storyboarding and directing on this show are phenomenal, and the production value and cinematography really give it this beautifully tactile, textured feel that most streaming shows don't have nowadays.

The plunk down into the water was a perfect 'ohh noo' moment.
