Yellowjackets - Doomcoming (S01E09)

First shot: I love the color palette here. Sweet and innocent; heavily contrasting with what came afterwards.

Second shot: POV shot with a blurry effect to show the effects of the shrooms.

Yellowjackets - Friends, Romans, Countrymen (S02E01)

First frame: Love the atmosphere. Usually, shots like this would be shown from a different angle, or positioning the house on the right side of the frame and leaving an open, inviting space in front of the door to make it seem welcoming. However, the opposite is done here. The cabin is positioned on the left, leaving almost no space in the front part. This isn't a nice place to be, you don't wanna join them. Also, its completely surrounded by trees, making it feel trapped; they're out in the wilderness, but still, they can't run away.

Second frame: Beautiful composition, production design and lighting.

Third frame: This entire sequence is creepy and disturbing. I love the way they reveal the corpse for the first time. This frame, in particular, is very interesting. Once the "plot twist" is revealed; you realize you're watching a very intimate moment for Shauna. It's not just a silly conversation between two friends. It's a deep part of her brain, full of grief, guilt, fear and the impossibility of letting go. The framing of the characters, using those leaves, give the viewer the sensation of spying on her, of watching something we definitely shouldn't be watching.

The Last Thing He Told Me (Pilot Review) | Surprisingly Faithful

I watched #TheLastThingHeToldMe when it premiered, because I like how it is cast and love the potential the story has but I'm surprised by show. #JenniferGarner #AngourieRice #AppleTVPlus #NikolajCosterWaldau

Creators: Laura Dave (Novel) & Josh SingerCASTJennifer GarnerAngourie RiceNikolaj Coster-WaldauAisha TylerGeoff StultsJohn Harlan KimAugusto Aguilera Review The end starts at the beginning and the beginning starts at the end. If you’ve read the book this will make sense in conjunction with the first minutes of the two-episode premiere. The show has a sleek look that gives makes it a little more…

We want to blame the world for our pain - the parents who didn’t support us, the lover who didn’t love us back - but the truth is, we are the ones making ourselves sick. And the rest of it... doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. Right? Because it isn’t real. It isn't real.

60 Sec Rec: Halt and Catch Fire

I'm going to borrow from a Vox article for the summary and a reason to watch:

"[...] originally set up the series as a conventional antihero drama about the sneering, self-proclaimed genius Joe Macmillan, who hijacks a small Texas computer manufacturer in the early 1980s and tries to get it to build his dream machine. He’s joined in this by two computer whizzes who can do the work while Joe offers the Steve Jobs-style bravado — Gordon Clark and Cameron Howe. These early episodes struggled to stand out from the glut of other antihero dramas rattling around in the 2010s. Yet they’re also necessary for setting up the series’ larger idea, which is that Joe might think he’s a genius, but the thing he really needs is to be tempered and improved by the people around him." [Vox]

"It also absolutely nails a tone that’s tricky to manage: optimism, tempered with a sense of how hard it is to accomplish anything with real meaning in this world." [Vox]

This show is a stand-out for the way it focuses on its characters and their relationships. Very rarely have I seen a show that lets all its protagonists be brilliant, and assholes, and sad, and flawed, much less one that lets them not just evolve but change their dynamics. Their arguments make sense, you can see why they're drawn to each other and also why they fight.

It has some scenes that will have you teary-eyed even if you're not a crier, because they're just so... they feel so real, so true.
