This absolute rollercoaster of a show tackles racism in America in the 50s through horror and fantasy. It’s honestly one of the wildest shows I’ve seen this year. For someone who grew up in New England, I couldn’t stop thinking about how the Jim Crow era was just 70 years ago. I really enjoyed how the storyline weaves in historical events often neglected in classrooms. Jordan Peele directed this show (with J.J. Abrams), and if you’ve seen Us or Get Out, it’s very on-brand for Peele. In addition to the amazing storyline, his choice of music for the show was impeccable. Fair warning though, nothing is off the table for this show, expect the unexpected (and a ton of gore).

It’s produced and created by a couple of producers of LOST and stars the actor who played Michael! It has similar elements to LOST but with a horror theme. It takes place in a small town in the middle of the forest that people find themselves in, trapped and unable to leave. They have to solve the mystery of the town and survive the bloodthirsty monsters that roam the streets at night… kind of corny with questionable acting at times but I love it. There have been a few genuinely terrifying moments that made me want to cry and the new season is really fun so far.

Ok so to start I saw Benedict cumberpatch was in it and not like excited about that but he did good so ig I can’t say anything LOL now for the actual review:
This was NOT what I expected, but like in a great way. I thought this was going to be one following detectives and police and idk just like other crime shows but it was much cooler.
It follows Vincent, the creator/a pupeteer in a children’s show who is also a shitty dude and shitty father, makes everyone miserable, but it seems like his son still looks up to him. But his home life isn’t great, his parents have loud arguments where things get thrown, his dad has a bad attitude towards him, etc. One day Vincint is asked to walk his 9 year old son to school, but he doesn’t and he goes missing. In a New York prior to cell phones, the story takes place in a time where we still see cases of racism, homophobia, corruption, and a large homeless population rumored to be hiding underground. Regretting his choices but still not getting along with his wife, the perspective changes between multiple characters and their search to find Edgar. Full of this regret for how he treated his son the night before and day of, we watch this father spiral, go back to his bad habits, and hallucinate the character his son has created.
There’s a lot more to it, but I’m worried my phones ab out to crash and don’t want to spoil bht it was really interesting and good, I would recommend it!

Who else watched this???? Absolutely fucked up story and it’s disturbing this is a real story. The producer seems absolutely psychopathic and seems to have little remorse for what he did. I’m happy the guy was able to find some light in all of this, but such a twisted story.
Would love to hear thoughts from anyone else whose seen this

🎢I’ve never been to Disney as a kid and as I grew older I always felt like I was too old for it. I spontaneously tagged along with my family the day before they left and I think that was the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m a huge fan of Star Wars and Avatar, and even as an adult I think I had the best week of my life and I felt like a kid again. I legitimately had real tears of joy on some of the rides. It’s never too late!

🍳While everyone is raving about their trendy nonstick pans, I’m here to bring the spotlight back to cast iron cookware. There’s a huge stigma around how hard it is to take care of cast irons, but it’s really not bad! You just gotta keep using it, and over time, it basically becomes nonstick. This article has sent off a tangent, and now I am a proud owner of a well-seasoned cast iron pan and griddle.

🏕Excessively hiking this year has been so fun, but the other half of the fun is the technical hiking apparel that goes with it - oh, and wearing only hiking gear even when I’m not hiking. I really appreciate Japan’s love for outdoor style and culture. GO OUT’s web magazine has been my daily morning check-in and my biggest outdoor gear inspiration. I recently picked up a few of their physical magazines (it’s hard to come by in the US) and I really enjoy flipping through them every now and then. Contrary to typical magazines that we’re used to, GO OUT magazines are basically beefed up catalogs of goodies and collabs that make for great coffee table content.
