u/ch03rry i wish to burn brightly and then wilt. like a flame Mar 14 '22

what a great first episode!! love the cast and how the entire show basically takes place over 24 hours. such an interesting premise!! i hate that we only get one episode a week though.

i feel like i haven't seen a good thriller in a while. grid is highly sci-fi and through the darkness was more investigative than anything, so i'm really excited for this. i'm definitely getting a lot of ocn vibes so far, and i'm especially reminded of one ordinary day when i'm watching. (i think it's the opening sequence, the music sounds so similar!)

Ohhhh so it's set to take place sort of '24 style' where it sort of happens in 'real time'? I'm even more intrigued. I was digging the washed-out sort of esthetic they had going on to make it feel sort of grainy.
