The curse

Ending was pure kino. Show was extremely based overall dabbed on millenitards, lefotid minority worship, gentrification, cucks, themcels, incels, peepeelets. So fricking keyed and great ending Hillary 2024

It was TRASH lmao I hate this new extremely low effort genre of cringe=comedy soy shows.

Dropped after the first ep even tho I'm a giga Emma Stone simp (she's also unironically a great actor)

I'd recommend watching The Rehearsal first. More normal show.

Yeah it really revealed that the show is basically about audiences not caring about the people in reality tv. Shit owned

I've been thinking on it

I think the ending has myriad interpretations

My current one interpretation is that white woman liberalism is incompatible with fatherhood or masculinity

Think about it

In eps 1-9, Whit (Emma Stone) is going around handing out money and driving them into debt for a ridiculous idealistic pursuit

Meanwhile Nathan is halfway with her. He wants to support her like the gigasimp he is, but he still has to be anchored in reality

He manages the finances, inspects the homes, manages contracts, etc

In the final episode, Whit is about burst and begins to come down to reality. Giving out a home for free when they can make a ~240k profit and having an insulated hotbox home with an infant are impractical

She realizes this baby requires resources and the world is cold hard numbers, not empty phrases

Meanwhile Nathan gives out the home (while the Somali guy is having a tenant touring lmao) and is completely bought into her prior bullshit

Morning of the birth, he becomes unanchored and can no longer literally be there for her in any capacity

That's my current interpretation, but I am kinda drunk

I think the entire theme of the show only manifests in the last spoken lines where the neighbors are looking on and think what happened to Asher was a stunt. Much like how Asher and Whitney are liberal idiots who care only about the superficial nature of what they're doing to the town and actually destroying it, the plot is actually about the audience watching reality shows and only caring about the entertainment of reality instead of the actual people. All the problems with the marriage and Dougie and the artist are all stuff audiences will never see or care about, so much like the voyeuristic nature of the show in general, it's just showing problems as entertainment and the curse is the audience's impact on these people's lives. It's where all the mirror metaphors come from, so something extraordinary happening to Asher and the people not caring about the real issue going on is a small audience, the neighbors are a larger audience and we the actual audience are the actual God like uncaring audience who sees this as profound but the real people supposedly being portrayed are in a living heck for our enjoyment. It's also why episode 10 feels like such a rug pull, be used we wanted to see what ultimate suffering will befall them but instead they are undone by apathy for the real people they are supposed to be.

Its extremely David lynch in a way but also the most meta 4th wall breaking context I've ever seen and also the most complete brutal attack on leftist politics of altruism by exposing them

It makes a ton of sense in the context of Nathan's previous work. He is absolutely ashamed of the character he made of his real self and this s him lashing out

That was a mistake. You're about to find out the hard way why.
