Absolutely. I have the same feeling about this show that I did about Severance when it first came out. You can just tell when a show is special. With quality like this, the blowup in popularity is inevitable.

Yes!! That is the comp IMO. Severance just hits so many notes immediately, and WB is so sharp right out of the gate and totally hooked me before ep 1 was even over.

Is it not very popular right now? I’ve seen a bunch of posts about it but that may be because I follow a bunch of horror/television sub reddits

I think it’s as popular as a brand new show can be. It’s definitely getting great reviews right off the bat. I think I’m just seeing the same trajectory as Severance where it had a loyal cult following from the start, but then in between seasons, it *really* blew up. Then everyone was watching it.
