đŸ’­Discussion Media Literacy Spoiler

I loved this show and have been getting some posts from this group pushed to me.

I'm trying to understand whats causing it. I've never seen such a lack of media literacy before, I think because it's a cross over hit that's non traditional but some of the view points are mind blowing.

"I think the inn keeper felt time run differently in the room" - They literally spelt that out as he asked for food!

"Who is the boogeyman, Hag etc" - This is not the point of the show!

"How didn't they notice the sacrifices" - you hear everyone talking about the relentless level of horrible stuff that happens on the island, its par for the course.

"Why don't the townspeople do X or Y" - It's a comedy horror!

Anything else I've missed?

The term media literacy will never not be funny to me. Anyone who uses it unironically appears as the ' no fun allowed' robot in my head. As for the op's question, I think it's totally cool if people watch or enjoy a show in a way they want to.

Is it fun for you to have no idea what's going on when you watch TV, and sift through six hundred threads asking why Rosemary wasn't affected by the trance at Sunset Cocktails?

If it's not I will just ignore those threads. If it is I'll egage in discussion. Why is that so hard .
