Thank you all for pitching in - fair points, all of them! With all this in mind, I think I can give it one more episode and see if it finally clicks for me. And if it still isn’t for me… that’s okay too.

Any advice for someone who didn’t connect with the first episode? The pacing felt slow to me, and the main character came off a bit exaggerated. Does it get better?

This is just amazing ❤️. Laughed so hard!

Hear me out: what if we replaced werewolves with AI in that sentence? The genre conventions and hierarchy critiques work surprisingly well both ways: www.jwz.org/blog/2025/01...

So much stuff to unpack here:

2. deliberation as oscillation between mundane moments and perspective-shifting ones.
3. scaling surprise: surprising one person is an art, but surprising 1 million people..?
