watching ripley again while normal IS changing my opinion on the show somewhat. very silly still fun to watch but like. it is SO stripped down and sometimes a liiiiiittle bit robotic and i GET that's what they're going for but on this watch i am sometimes not vibing with it. however i think this is in turn making the show all the more compelling for the fact that i cannot decide how i even feel about it

#i am also watching with other people so like. that's something that is changing how i feel i am also somewhat more critical when showing #media i enjoy to other people. it's a slow one which sometimes works in its favor and sometimes doesnt #lot of bits that i am somewhat lukewarm on now BUT ep 6 is still pretty good ravini is still an icon and having him do the interrogations #from the armchair thereby switching up the positions is very clever i must admit zaillian. also can confirm that tom wake up i swam still #slaps actually. but i am somewhat finding this shows commitment to style over all somewhat frustrating #like it looks great SOMETIMES (i hate you nighttime ocean shots and also the ferry sequences i hate you washed out grey beach shots)#(and i hate you overexposed daytime)#(i love you night time shots and begrudgingly i love you chiaroscuro with the caveat only when it works)#but like. its kinda distracting sometimes. why the fuck did they put the morgue there #might fuck around and drop the letterboxd rating but historically the ending has overridden my criticisms so we'll see. i guesz #neon has thoughts #tv tag
