Particularly for you Americans out there. As with all the best comedy, I hear a line from this show in my head almost everyday as things happen around me. āThis is the one thing we didnāt want to happenā etc. The video FX and editing are genius and have not been beaten imo.
Without spoiling the plot, he ingeniously repeats the same idea in various exasperated ways. Tautology is my favorite comedic device, and Brooks is the best at it.
He drew all these unbelievably intricate maps of middle-earth that were never published during his lifetime, purely for his own amusement and his love of thoroughness. I aspire to that level of devotion to my passions! I also love his more informal abstract paintings and drawings. Theyāre kind of outsider art in a funny way but so underrated and donāt get enough love!
I love it when the producers rattle the cage. I feel like the show mostly shows that love is sadly not blind. Iām always so convinced they really fall in love, and then I imagine that intimate scene replaying with the cameraperson slightly wobbling, half-hidden behind a piece of furniture. A true emotional rollercoaster.
