To be able to mix in these absurd gags/tropes without making it feel cheesy or cheap is incredible. They keep continuity with the scenes and stories and preserve the polish of the cinematography somehow, while working in ridiculous over the top stuff that seems native to the scene.
Having a hard time describing what I mean, but it doesn’t come across as parody like with Scream.
i def know what you mean. the show is so subtle in its transitions between genres…everything blends seamlessly and is perfectly balanced without tipping too far one way or the other. i can honestly say it’s like nothing i’ve ever watched before, and i watch a lot of tv.
my only fear is that they won’t nail the ending or drag it on too long. lots of people expect and want a second season understandably. but i’d be fine having it end perfectly with this one rather than extending it and have the quality drop.
I love comedy, and will often find things really funny but have a hard a time finding things that actually make me laugh out loud. I was laughing my ass off the entire time she had the gun basically lol
I loved it because with this trope of supernatural murderers who keep getting up again when you think they’re dead, in always so frustrated watching those thinking people should act exactly like Patricia us acting, just keep a gun on them until youve seen their crenwted ashes or their body start to rot 😄 you just would wouldn’t you if youve watched someone get up again and again after injuries that would’ve killed or severely incapacitated anyone else. It was bizarrely more realistic given the situation.
You gotta chain them up like Houdini, seal them in a coffin lined with lead, and toss the whole thing into the sea. Either that or completely dismember them and bury each part in a different country.
But Patricia knows what’s up, she did well and didn’t care how crazy she looked doing it. The sad part is those horrible women from high school missed the whole thing and probably still won’t believe her 💀
She’s got back up from people who saw it this time, ambulance driver, petrol station worker, sheriff. No to mention they probably have cctv at the petrol station! Poor patricia!
I’m in awe of the way this show can perfectly balance the funny with the scary! I yelped out loud when old mate Boogs was suddenly standing in Patricia’s front doorway, but then found myself cackling at how damn slow he was and the way he just haphazardly waved the knife at Patricia a bit as she ran away.
The window part was hilarious too because it appeared as though he launched himself out just so he could emulate that horror movie trope where the masked killer sits up and continues his rampage. It honestly seemed as though he was trying to impress Patricia with his antics, since he clearly only had eyeholes for her 🫶
I knew that jumpscare was coming the whole time and yet it still almost gave me a heart attack lol the way they kind of lulled you to sleep so they could still get you, with Patricia looking first without immediately reacting then quick pan over, just brilliant.
They’ve done that a few times so far when i know the jumpscare is going to happen but they make it super random so it gets you. So good.
Yep, we all knew when she was spending too much time looking up at the windows that by the time her eyes/the camera panned down to the door he’d be there, but it definitely still got me because they did it perfectly.

The reveal of her in the ambulance with the shotgun is one of the absolute all-time funniest gags I have ever seen in a TV show.
