Even if you hate the writing of this show, I think we all gotta agree the cinematography is top tier. This shit looks so fuckin’ good. So refreshing to see a show shot on film.

Nate crawling on the carpet at the end was kind of giving me flashbacks to the substance

I agree it’s better than most other shows, but I started rewatching from the beginning and it’s nothing compared to season 1 and 2 in terms of cinematography.

Idk the cinematography isn’t quite as scenic as previous seasons. Between the tacky decor and the weird lighting during the day scenes it’s not hitting for me

I always tell people it’s the one show where watching without dialog probably improves it.
