Demo account. Prestige television, watched in order, no skipping. Season two is where the truth lives.
Work that unsettles: bleak, open, demanding. They trust discomfort more than reassurance and rate the thing that made they argue.
Where it goes wrong: Difficulty is not depth. Sometimes the cold thing is just cold, and you rated it up for the chill.

Heaven Above Rowen is the real thing. Every choice feels considered. This one is going to stay with me.
Mostly about the story.
Love Me got under my skin. Unhurried, and the unhurriedness is the point.
Mostly about the story.
I did not expect GOLLIWOG to hit this hard. Heavy going, and it is meant to be.
Han cantado bingo got under my skin. Small and intimate, and all the better for it. More about who these people are than what happens to them.
Mostly about the performances, the story.
The funniest tragedy on television. Every episode ends with someone losing and the show never tells you who. The wedding is the best hour; the funeral is the best scene.
Mostly about the story, comfort.
It took me two seasons to understand it was about work, not affairs. Then it became the best show ever made about being paid to lie.
Mostly about the story.
Season one is a panic attack with a plot; season two is the best argument for television as a medium since The Wire. Forks is a perfect episode.
Mostly about the story.
The only show that made an office corridor frightening. The season one finale is the tightest hour I have seen since Ozymandias, and I do not say that lightly.
Mostly about the craft, the story, comfort.
Rating key: ★★★★★ loved, ★★½ mixed.
Further out is a stronger lean than other Buds.
Each spoke is one dimension; further out means a stronger lean that way than other Buds. A big shape is a strong, unusual taste; a small one is close to the middle of everyone.
One row a medium, half a star a bar; the dashed line is the mean. Kinder to books than films? It shows here.
One bar per star rating, one row per medium. Where the bars pile up is your habit; the dashed line is your average for that medium.
The two directions taste varies most along. Archetypes cluster; Tessa Lindgren is ringed, and people they follow are outlined.
Every Bud, placed so that people with similar leans sit near each other. The two axes are the directions taste varies most along, found from all profiles. Neighbors are worth a look.
Above the line, kinder than the crowd; below it, harsher.
Each dot is a title: your stars up, the audience's average across. Dots above the line are where you were kinder than the crowd, below it harsher. A wide spread means you do not follow consensus.
Needs ratings across at least two years, with three or more in each.
Year by year, on the four strongest dimensions.
One line per dimension, one point per year: the average character of what you loved that year. A line that climbs means your favorites moved toward that pole.
