homecoming

Thought I’d do a quick rundown on all the eps so far, because this show has so much to chew on… 

And TBH, I am starved for a perspective that isn’t a smug white dude yelling “I CALLED IT!!” (yeah, fool that’s what good storytelling does *purposely* lay out crumbs on the path!) or “ugh, too lib.” The fact that we have this wonderful internet or a mass forum, means we lose the organic first watch experience that I remember from back in the day. So, too many try to outsmart shows by cheating and then smugly pat themselves on the back for “getting it”.   I’m saying, the point isn’t the twist or the gotcha. The point is good storytelling, which this show does ably.  So relax. You don’t get a cookie for “calling it” and you won’t get lambasted as stupid for not seeing it.   Just. Enjoy. The show.   ANYWAY…  You know I gotta put it beneath a cut and bullet it because my scatter-brain lays out things easier that way….

“Rather than water being important in itself, water flows from top to bottom. I think that’s the tragic and sad element in this film. Water always flows from the rich to the poor, it never flows the other way.” –Bong Joon-ho

Me: do you have anything good

Netflix: we have a wide selection :)

Me: but is it good
