Chikhai Bardo is my favorite episode in this show & maybe in my top 5 of all time, super excited for this

Florian

George, because you mentioned Orpheus and Eurydice, did you listen to the Hades Town musical or went to a show? If not highly recommended!

TGrimace

Appropriately, the closing song as Cobel drives away is "Fire Woman" by "The Cult"

Fritz

Do you guys have a Letterboxd?

Fraser S

omg didnt know you guys had one this is amazing

Fritz

That's cool, just sad, you guys don't rate them. Would have been fun to look at.

I wasn’t sure how I felt about season 2. It is almost an anthology series. I forgot just how many truly excellent episodes are in this season. I have said before they are showing off with some of the shots and transitions, a lot of money spent on the show, but I guess Apple are good for it. Devon is excellent, we all agree, and her natural acting is conspicuous by how normal her character is in the show.

The old hecklers in the Muppets are named Statler and Waldorf

That VFX clip is amazing. The subtle use of CGI always amazes me. E.g. I never even thought some of the snow was CG. It also makes me realise I have absolutely no idea how these things are made. The difference between what is shot in camera and the final scene you see on screen is like magic to me.

I feel like y'all are too pessimistic about severance. Just think, you could have your innies re-watch the missing movies in your catalog again. Re-watch LOTR for the first time. Simone could have a new George innie watch "You've Got Mail" with her 3 times a week for the rest of eternity!

Sweet Vitriol was filmed in Newfoundland if you were curious.

Watch “I now pronounce you chuck and Larry” for pride month

The show takes place in "Kier, PE" per a piece of mail in Irving's apartment. There is no state with the initials PE.

Calling Harmony makes a lot of sense under the circumstances. Devon finds Mark on the floor presumably dying, and Reghabi, the person responsible, seemingly unable to save him. When you consider that Reghabi has already killed Petey with her reintegration efforts, you wouldn't be out of line for wanting to contact someone else for help, especially how cagey Reghabi is and what little concern she has for Mark's life in the grand scheme of things. Everything Harmony has done so far indicates she places a value on Mark's life; Reghabi, not so much. Regarding where they are, I can't get a fix on it, mainly because they the cars don't seem to have license plates or other identifying elements. Other commenters have said that the show has mentioned that the town they live in is Kier PE. (Thanks, REDR58 and others.) The PE led me to believe it was Prince Edward Island, Canada, Other comments led me to believe it's not, the proximity to Milwaukee, for instance. And then there's the playing of the song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" in at least two episodes, leads me to believe Kier PE is in Wisconsin, U.S. So, now that Harmony is on the way to save Mark, how do you think she does it? Does she do it by reëstablishing the boundary between innie and outie, or does she do it by fully integrating his two identities? If the writers are riffing off of the classic myths, I'm not too concerned about Devon being Persephone. Persephone is held against her will by Hades. If Devon is Persephone, she's still a good person. I'm more concerned about Ricken being Hades. Now that Lumen wants him to write more inspiring essays for their workers, I can see him becoming a willing ruler of the Underworld, which makes me concerned for Devon. But more worrisome is Gemma's fate. If she is Eurydice, Mark is going to be the death of her. I can totally see that happening.

I think this (208) and the next episode could have been one but you want the big reveal here at the end. There are ten episodes in this season and this one seems more like the bonus bit. I don’t think the Persephone line was implying Devon was Persephone but it was putting the idea of the underworld into our heads. Mark is Orpheus searching for Eurydice (Gemma) but he’s also Faustus making a deal with devil in exchange for having Helen (Helly) brought back to life. The actor playing the dentist is most famous as the voice of Disney’s Beast but beast is an analog of Bluebeard who had a forbidden room in his castle. There are many layers. Chikhai Bardo is a reference to one of the stages of death in Tibetan Buddhism. The death process has layers too. I’m not in the camp that thinks Gemma volunteered. This show is no more set in a contemporary place or time than the Witcher or Game of Thrones are set in medieval Europe.

Rob Bob

At around 2 minutes 5 seconds of the 7th episode, you see the Lumon logo on the blood barrels. They really are everywhere.

I don’t trust Raghbi fully but in fairness to her, no one listens to her but then they blame her for the side effects they caused. Petey refused to keep working with her to mitigate the side effects of reintegration. Remember she was calling him non stop to check in. In the previous episodes she told mark that she wanted to go slower and he insisted because he wanted to see Gemma again. And then after she makes a huge incision in his head, she’s adamant that Mark can’t move his head. He argues back and forth and chooses to still go upstairs to have a chat with Devon. Marks seizure is 100% his fault. You don’t ignore the person who just cut into your brain.

Thank you for your efforts.. I am appreaciating your "uncovered versions" very much and look forward to the finale of Season 2 .. I know that.. the work is mysterios and iimportant.

That movie is a bad Americanized version of the 2004 Aussie film Strange Bedfellows. The similarity even resulted in litigation.

Simon

I would love that, but it is big ask because despite its popularity and critical reception, even reactions to multiple episodes at a time will not get much views. Or worse, only certain episodes will get lots a views, and the rest will only get tiny views.

MeetMountain

Okay…. I subscribed to you and happily am able to see shows I’ve never seen. I was SOOOO INTO the first season. This second season just makes me mad. It’s like they got the feedback “the audience likes mystery.” Then answers no real questions. Or adds questions to answers. To be honest it’s fuckin frustrating. Not in a good way. Like in a way.. “I’m done with this show.” “I want answers and not more questions” is exactly how most people probably feel and why this will fall flat by days end. It seemed like it could be a two season MASTERPIECE but wanted to fucking milk it and that’s frustrating.

Reed James

The show says the first season was only 3 weeks (how long Helly R was down there). The second season is maybe 2 weeks.

If you are interested in more with Gemma, she costarred in another series, Dollhouse
