Catching UP Episode Five: We're meant to be wondering whether Dre killed Marissa, right? Certainly the parents seem to think so. Also, yeah, I knew there were queer vibes between the two of them. Been thinking about the idea of being a consumer and obsessive consumption; I think the show goes there with the bite and with Dre's love of fast food, and the way that her identity is so tied to the culture she consumes that she feels personally attacked every time her idol is criticised, but I'm wondering if some of this isn't reaching diminishing returns on the concept. Fantastic acting from Fishback during her monologue about her fantasy of being a make-up artist. And great loving lighting throughout. Episode Six: This cop lady's weirdly, self-aggrandizing documentary is meant to be suss as gently caress, yeah? I've been tooling around the internet about it and it seems like most people are taking the entire show at face value, but I dunno... Like the bit where the connection between the original murders and the stripper incidents is confirmed through an obviously faked phone conversation insert. Generally don't trust a lot of information that's being delivered here; e.g. the foster mum talking about how much she and her husband cared for her kids, but the implication that they were regularly locking the original Dre in the attic, or this cheerleader coming in and telling a story about a 'harmless' sleepover prank that resulted in her getting stabbed. Or this killer piece of evidence:  And then it ends on a bunch of people laughing at this girl as she delivers a perfectly fine highschool quality performance in a highschool talent show -- nothing really worth laughing at, all things considered -- and all I'm left thinking is that she was probably an easy target for victimization.
