caught a screener of the first two episodes, it's alright. It seems to be moving really fast, and the first episode is WAY too stylized for my tastes (jesus christ the crane shots). the twin peaks comparison the nyt review makes was hyperbole as I feared, it's more og twin peaks than the return--- the episodes are slathered in Nicholas Britell's wonderful score, which kinda robs the remaining haunting qualities from the rather insistent sound design. I wished we got a better and less broad depiction of the plantation, some more of the community there and the dynamics. When the main character finally gets on the train the show rockets into full blown scifi, and stays there in the second episode, which I found much stronger in pacing and command (the crane shots return but actually work and feel like good storytelling). I hope it keeps the energy and vision of the second episode going, while also developing the protagonist more. Much of the second episode is talking directly past the protagonist and into the audience, which hopefully will fall off as the protagonist grows into strength. on a technical note, i hope that there's a 4k stream available when it drops, cuz the 1080p bitrate compression crushes the colors... jenkins and his dp deserve better
