The ending of You made me feel better about myself but absolutely want to vomit about the state of the world. Good job for the horror genre? I guess?
#idk if I’d recommend it#cons:#parts are a little corny#sometimes the acting is hit and miss#sometimes certain plot points feel superfluous#it’s about a stalker who constantly gets away with stalking and murder so if that’s triggering to you#you might want to stay far away#it’s definitely done through a ‘liberal is the norm’ mindset which blinds them to what can be seen as missteps in representation#for example#there are two transgender women characters throughout the course of the show#the first one is portrayed as a ‘know it all’ ‘privilege Olympics winning’ arteest and the second is a drug addled ultra rich influencer#now on the one hand I appreciate that they included trans characters that were just people who didn’t have to represent every trans person#I think we would benefit from more portrayals that framed trans people as just another human#unfortunately the issue comes from these bordering on liberal stereotypes of trans women without further development of their characters#pros:#most realistic depiction of suicidal ideation I think I’ve ever seen#it doesn’t glorify it either which is nice#there are some interesting societal critiques of issues within liberal spaces that I found refreshing to see on screen#in fact the societal critiques place the genre firmly in psychological horror even though you’re placed to root for the monster#I don’t think all of these critiques land but taking the risk to even talk about some of them gets kudos from me#I like when the monster is the main character#I think this hits a very interesting audience intersection worth looking into further#anyway#i have a lot of thoughts#but I’m not going to put the rest down here
