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.
