give it a go i think you may be surprised

[Toy Soldier]

It's not woke but it's ... bizarre.

Spoiler:

About half way through you realise it's 100% just a satire of the genre - but the first few episodes don't seem like that at all

It's not terrible but it's a bit clumsy. It's also really short so overall I'd say you might as well give it a go.

[Toy Soldier]

The best character by far is the detective.

[LeatherTrumpet]

It actually gets better 3 on and then it's a go

[LeatherTrumpet]

But yes it's a weird satire
Of YOU?

[LeatherTrumpet]

Omg sa totally unnecessary sex scene. Gross

I mean, I personally would argue that "You" is semi-satirical to begin with, but yeah there's probably some inspiration there. I'd say it's more a parody of pulpy mystery novels and, in turn, the sort of trashy mystery shows that Netflix (and the beeb, and ITV etc.) churn out.

The last episode

Spoiler:

completely jumps the shark into full-on lampooning

That was the scene that made me fully realise that it's taking the peepee out of some Netflix-drama tropes .

The wine glass looks like it's getting bigger everytime as well and yeah I was thinking the day she was supposed to go on that blind date in Ep 1 she drank a whole glass/ bottle of wine
