Am nearly there.
Finished S1 last night and will probably watch S2E1 tonight...
Damn - it's a really good series, so thanks again for the heads up - have enjoyed it. Some brilliant acting by all the cast (Rue in particular), but also great editing, cinematography, lighting, music etc.
I see S2E2 is also out - episodes are 1hr+ so will probably watch that tomorrow. You still liking it?
great editing, cinematography, lighting, music etc.
That's exactly it for me. I mean, the story, in general, is just some sugar-coated high school drama (mixed with drugs) but the cinematography alone lifts it above the rest. That carnival episode alone is a masterclass in visual arts
Exactly! I even rewound quite a few scenes just to try take it all in a 2nd time.
Perhaps that's lost on some viewers - and could be a bit slow in parts, if unappreciative of the artistic side of it. But there was a lot to appreciate:
The "long cuts" where one camera keeps going for a few minutes following the action (a bit of cheating, but that's ok). Also the flipped cameras, lots of drone shots etc. Very, very good. The music is not generally to my taste - but they selected great, fitting tracks that I really ended up liking.
Can't really compare, but have you ever watched the UK's "Sex Education"?
It's much lighter, less artistic, more comedy, but still quite enjoyable. I'm older, but still enjoy well done "coming of age" stories. Reminds me of anxieties and challenges of my youth perhaps, lol.
Ok. So has the timer started already ? =))
Thanks for the DLC Admir :) Have a great week!
