    I’m not that far in, but while I’m overall enjoying it, it feel a bit less tight than seasons 1 and 3. I’m seeing more clique tropes (dude with a mail order bride? Really? In 2024?), scenes that go on a bit too long, and it’s wearing its influence on its sleeve, literally they have a DVD of The Thing on a shelf in one shot. Also it’s too early to call it but I think it’s, unintentionally or not, gonna have a similar twist to the video game Penumbra (don’t look up for spoilers). Oh yeah The Terror too.

    The supernatural stuff being more blatant isn’t inherently bad but I feel like it could easily go in a really stupid direction fast. Plus it does kind of clash with the themes of the previous seasons.
