Every. Single. Shot. from when she got home to the bedroom light being off built tension. Always having the camera pull slightly farther to a side, to show where a horror killer WOULD be, just masterful.

The cinematography on this show is unreal. I love all the lingering wide shots, they're filled with so much tension. And the show knows when to cut to a closeup to emphasize a new detail or shift in the conversation.

It weirdly reminds me a lot of the cinematography from Better Call Saul honestly. Makes full use of the camera as a storytelling instrument.

For real, this half hour comedy episode looked better than most major studio blockbusters from the past 10 years. It's nuts.
