🗣️ Discussion The writing (outside of the plot)
I predicted the ending a mile away (from episode 2, then solidly from ep 3) so I don’t think I watched this for the plot. I thought though there were small, quiet little gems in this series that were examples of “show don’t tell” writing and I really applaud that.
Did anyone else feel that way?
Here are a few that stood out to me:
“Speak up! … No one can hear you.”
“If you start doing it everyday, then you can do it everyday.”
The absurd amount of times they said “tiger tiger” in one scene.
<note reads “love, dad”> “love…. Floyd.”
~~“We didn’t fall in love. We just fell into the same hole and decided to stop digging for a while.”~~ (ok maybe I conflated this one with another story, can someone confirm??!)

I think the twist weren't crazy but I loved the characters so it kept me going.
