i was home alone for a couple of nights, i was looking for something kind of mindless.
this one was overstuffed, in a way - enough plot gimmicks for a dozen of the kind of shows you'd put on a streaming platform around halloween. a bunch of them just kind of trail off. i'd say it pulls punches but it's more like the script just kind of decides to go somewhere else.
it could have been a better show, but i liked it well enough to spend the time.
proposal: everybody's getting hammered at the bar, good vibes, dancing. sudden buzzkill: evil mining company guy & henchpersons show up, the one kid squints and challenges 'em to a scrap, they go out front, giant tentacles emerge from off-screen and pulp the henchpersons, kid gives the squid the low bones and the band comes outside and everybody dances with the squid to a banger song from a band you feel like maybe you used to hear on much music. roll credits.
i would guaranteed watch 5-7 8 episode seasons of that shit and i bet i'm not alone.

good cast, cool setting, ending just kind of... fizzles right where you think you'd expect some rampaging monster vengeance.
if they get a second season, they could do worse than turning it into kind of a small town hangout thing a la letterkenny but with moderate generational trauma, a little dusting of climate angst, and some murdery giant squid pals.
