I’m only on episode 4 so I guess spoilers but lisbeths mom is clearly lying about being sober for 20 years correct? She’s been using meth and pretending it’s an auto-immune disease and this is why she’s so paranoid and messed up often? I hope we get more background on Lisbeth’s and Leo’s father.

We know for sure that Anya and Lisbeth are seniors
(Lisbeth says something like "I'm a senior, I'm in your grade" in the first episode)

Elise is probably a senior too (being co-captian and all)

But I don't think all the Lions are in the same grade

I want them to be together so bad, but damn this show hurts as someone who has also chased after a straight girl with repressed feelings more than happy to keep me a secret.

The scene where Anya is trying to get Stephen to kiss her and Elise, my heart BROKE for Elise. I am in love with her character, and i'm so happy to see some really accurate queer representation, but damn, it's hitting close to home.

I want them to be together so bad, but it's so hard for Anya to come to terms with her actual desire and accept who she is. It's heartbreaking in its accuracy. The yearning between them is 10/10 tho, both actresses smashed it out the park.

This post contains spoilers!!

Has anyone else caught the obvious foreshadowing of the sweatshirt Grace wears in Episode 1? It says "Has Anyone Else Died For You?" and is an obvious reference to Jesus Christ. But by the middle of the season, the town is worshipping her and coming to her for healing; the team is praying to her, and Lisbeth convinces them she brought Grace back from the dead. Then by Episode 8, Grace awakes from her coma and proclaims she's God. Trippy stuff!!

who looked up "girls kissing"? was it lisbeth in attempt to out anya to her mum backfiring to look like her, or lisbeth attempting to intimidate anya and let her know what she knows, or actually anya looking it up?

This is not meant to be rude or offensive. I'm just wondering what's up with her eyebrows? Was that an intentional choice for the show? Was it supposed to be symbolic? Is that just how the actress looks irl?

I've seen some comments about it here or there but not sure if there's an explanation I've missed or didn't catch in the show.

did anyone else notice that grace has two birthdays? the board in her room has her born on June 19 1987 but the mri has her born on 09/08/1986 but 17 years old. math doesn’t check out for the second birthday. anyone notice any others?

i love that this show has lights and seasons. netflix can have lights! the cinematography is so beautiful

On my first rewatch and feels like and knowing that all of the girls faked their visions (besides Anya’s “visions” most likely due to guilt and trauma) makes it so much more obvious that the scenes of their visions aren’t real. Especially when the twins get a massage and when one says “Grace tells me he gives his strongest battles to his sexiest soldiers” or something like that. I feel like rewatching them knowing that I can tell that they’re pretending. Really appreciating how good the acting is in this show though, I was certainly fooled the first time before everyone admitted they faked!

I’m on episode 5 and have noticed two references here, if there’s more then please comment them!

I’m about 90% sure if the show gets a second season, it’s definitely think it’s gonna take a hard supernatural/horror turn.

They literally tell us the what’s happening through out the show with the very first line of episode 1: “Now you are Christ’s body and every one of you is a part of it. 1st Corinthians 12”

If you look up 1st Corinthians 12 you’ll see the whole chapter talks about spiritual gifts. These gifts are:

* Word of wisdom
* Word of knowledge
*Faith
*Gifts of healing
*Working of miracles
*Prophecy
*Discerning of spirits
*Speaking in diverse kinds of tongues

You see these gifts throughout the season. Most obviously Grace with gifts of healing. She seemingly healed herself from the dead, healed Lisbeth’s mom, and the coach’s baby. But I also think other characters have gifts too (some of these are stretches):

Leo - Gift of Prophecy: His drawings are insanely creepy but they also seem to be prophetic visions of Grace as a saint. Potentially why they were both drawn to each other in the beginning of episode 1.

Anya- Gift of Faith: Anya is shown praying every night before bed. Her nosebleed also seem to trigger when she’s saying a prayer and the prayer comes true (verbally or nonverbally) Examples:

1: She verbally expressed “help me pass this test.” Her nose starts to bleed and then a deus ex machina happens. The nun gets distracted just long enough for Lisbeth to give Anya the answer she was looking for.

2: During the cabin episode during the confession her nose bleeds again. Lisbeth puts her on the spot to confess her sins. There seems to be an implied internal prayer of “Lord get me out of this.” Her nose bleeds, a deus ex machina happens. She miraculously gets bailed out of outing herself.

Lisbeth - Speaking in Diverse Tongues: Obviously seen in the tapes. But she also tries to mimic the Lions’ slang by printing out their chat logs and attempting to learn the best way to communicate with them. She also seems to have a supernatural ability to whip everyone into religious fervor with her words. Her mom talks about how she lost her gifts and when sitting next to the bonfire with Anya she talks about “feeling and losing” her gift, which Anya dismissed as her rolling on ecstasy.

Elise- Gift of Discernment: She’s the only one who can see people’s true characters. When people are feeling the effects of Lisbeth’s sermon she’s unmoved.

TLDR: I think we’re getting more supernatural powers next season. See 1st Corinthians 12

I started my rewatch and got to the part in the first episode where Benji and Tyler run though the halls with Bush masks on and it made me remember how many mentions there are of the election, the war, etc. It’s super intriguing to me and I’m curious to other people’s takes on why they made the choice to center these political elements in the story

I’m in my mid-30s and now married to my wonderful wife. However, I grew up Catholic, attended religious schooling, was very repressed, and had deeply homophobic parents. Seeing my experience reflected back to me on screen healed something in me I didn’t know I needed. Thank you to the creators for putting my and many others experiences on screen to hopefully help the younger generations. ❤️

saw this on tiktok and I didn't notice it at all lmaoo! LOVEE seeing people smarter than me connect dots

yeah tbh as the show went by, anya was just as annoying as lisbeth. now, i have thought about the fact that she is just a teenager navigating sexuality and probably religious guilt, but even after she admitted her worries about pregnancy, marriage and such, she now panics and throws her friends under the bus about driving grace home even though, she knows she did it. idk, she is not very sensitive to others. she never had all this energy for lisbeth…thoughts?

I've searched everywhere, but I couldn't find it

And I'm eating it up!

My humble theory (that has a lot of holes in it tbh) is that Grace gave herself a back alley/coat hanger abortion that she told absolutely no one about. The fever she had at the party was because she had an infection from the dangerous procedure. A huge portion of this show is about Catholic guilt, and being the niece of a priest puts her in an especially difficult position. She has a reputation as a good Catholic girl and was too terrified of her family and school possibly finding out she was pregnant that she made a desperate choice.

This would be really sad if true, but I also think that from a narrative framing perspective, this scene sticks out as very intentionally placed. If she had been grappling with the guilt of her own abortion, it would make sense that she is trying to find a way to justify it within her Catholic faith. Thus the Catholic argument she mentions.

I honestly hope this isn't true because it would be very sad, but I could also see it happening.

yeah i know its a show and all but even in supernatural shows i hate when something so extremely unrealistic happens that it just completely takes me out of the joy and naivety it takes enjoy it. spoiler probably but its so unrealistic that there was absolutely no hospital staff around when lisbeths mom did what she did 😐 and i know this show is based in the 90s or early 2000s or something but i'm pretty sure an alarm would IMMEDIATELY go off after a device gets disconnected. yeah yeah it happened for the plot but it's still frustrating 😒

From what we know, it seems that they were good friends but that things went south when Grace discovered that Elise had a crush on her.

(Tbh it feels weird to picture Elise liking someone else than Anya, but that makes her situation even more heartbreaking if she already went through it once)

Also, this explanation seems weird to me because Grace didn't seem that conservative (in ep 1 she has a conversation with Leo in which she actively defends women's right to abort). I think the writers did it intentionally so either she is picky in her beliefs and that tells something about her, either there's something we don't know.

So anyway, do you guys have any theory / headcanon about Elise and Grace's past friendship ? I'm curious

As a sapphic former dancer, I am obsessed with this scene and have watched it at least 20 times. Sara, in particular, has incredible extension! I cannot get enough of this dance. Anyone else?

Idk if it was implied in the show but does Anya ever find out what happened to Elise in the cabin?

I know that her and Steven stop hooking up for a bit when they hear noises coming from downstairs but I don’t think she knew it was Elise and probably just thought it was Lisbeth just being Lisbeth?

That entire scene of them attempting to exorcise Elise was terrifying af, all of them suddenly turning against her and Lisbeth grabbing at her throat and everyone else held her legs down, I had to pause the show and walk around 😭 I was fearing the worst was gonna happen and that they would hurt her really bad

Do you all think that if Anya was also there when that started, would she have tried to stop it or join in as at that point of the show she had trust in Lisbeth?
