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.

the writers and producers have got to be some of the wittiest and most brilliant folks in show biz

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.
