hey, i saw you recommend wolf 359, and i have a, well, kind of rude question if you don't mind.

does it um... get better? i listened to the first couple episodes and i found it sort of gratingly unfunny and annoying. i mean, if it's to someone's taste then that's fine, but it seemed very different to the vein of tma and malevolent. does it get more serious as it goes?

thanks, sorry for being a hater 😄

while I do personally enjoy the early episodes quite a lot, there is indeed a massive tone shift relatively early on. the first couple of episodes are very, sorta, classic american sitcom in vibes, but starting at roughly episode 11 it takes a sharp turn into drama of the "we have trapped these characters in a small precarious space as they slowly develop more and more conflicting trauma responses" variety. eiffel remains eiffel and not even god could make him change his sense of humor, so if you find that entirely too offputting then you probably won't get on with the rest of the show, but there is a reason it's usually put on lists of notably well executed and emotionally impactful character dramas.
