Aubrey Plaza is always worth watching and she definitely didn't disappoint here. Jean Smart too! For sure it is not for everyone. Creepy, confusing, but a fun trip (in all senses of the word). | ||

It's a bit darker than the TV show IIRC. The TV series (FX, Hulu) has different actors but is just as good: Jemaine and Taika are writing and they have some fantastic guest stars--Tilda Swinton! Season 2 starts April 15. Bat!// | ||
