Holy SHIT what an opener!

This was fantastic.

No it's dull, dull, dull. Book spirit totally absent. Also, why does ducky-looking Lily James get so much work? She's incredibly dull and is the same in everything.

This was great!

Edit: I was confused. Too many goddam streaming services.

Oh thank God, it looked so....bright. I was worried.

Plot is an absolute mess. Kept waiting for it to get going. Didn't.

That's what I meant. It's not quite as formulaic - and if Disney are less formulaic than you, something is wrong.

Love the cast returning in different roles, though. Knives Out 2 should do likewise.

Needs more Flanagan. Not scary or inventive enough by ep 4. But it has an amazing photographic cameo in Ep. 2. Amazing.
