Full disclosure, I came into this not expecting to like it. Literally the only reason that I pulled it up was because it was Monday and I had nothing else to watch. I like Gun (the only actor I knew going in) well enough, so I figured unless I hated it I could just have it on as background noise.

But then a strange phenomenon happened. I fell in love. No, really. By the second ep I was hooked. I really enjoyed the creepypasta like style of the stories, and ep 2 is a particular favorite for that. The cast is excellent - plenty has been said about Tor, Gun, and Nanon, and in my opinion, all deserved, but in my opinion the entire cast brought their A game. I was especially a fan of Namtan's June and Ploypach's Bam - June was just lovely and sweet and her friendship with Dome and they way that she prodded at Khatha about him was delightful, and i love Bam with Triphop and her antagonistic relationship with Khatha. Again, though, everyone showed up for this show, even guest stars who were only there for one ep, and it shows.

The meta plot kept me guessing, but that is also where the weakest element in this show is, I think. I am not against dribs and drabs of meta plot that slowly build into a crescendo of insanity, but I do think that the pacing was off - the meta plot only really came into play in episode 5, and then they had to ramp it up fast so that they could wrap it up by episode ten, and it shows.

Subjectively, this is a 10/10 show for me. I love it, and will wind up watching it again and again because it's a blast and large swathes of it feel tailored to me personally (the entirety aforementioned episode 2, episode 6, and episode 10 are particular faves, but really the only episode I wasn't too keen on was five). However, if I force myself to pull back a little I have to admit that it wasn't perfect, even if it felt perfect for me. However, I do think it is very good, and ambitious, and I don't think that most people who try it will find themselves regretting the watch. If only to count how many times Dome faints (nope not a criticism, that's another part that was tailored to me :D).
