    Key and Peeles “Us” was atrocious I tried to stick it out thinking it would get better but… walked out.

      It was just Jordan Peele, Key wasn’t involved. They just have an unrelated show together.

      And “Us” is a real slow burn, I’ll agree the first half was pretty off putting but once you let it slowly unravel it’s pretty good. But I can’t blame ya for bailing.

        Idk I watched Us to completion and the whole thing was pretty bad all the way through. It felt a lot like it was on the level of M Night’s The Happening. Like the whole thing was crafted around a twist that really didn’t make much sense. Like he was more worried about the allegory than making the actual plot coherent.

          That’s fair and I bet a lot of people feel simmiliarly, but I thought it was thought provoking and a story told in an interesting way. But we all like different things, not trying to “correct” anyone’s opinion or anything, just I personally enjoyed it.

        I had the opposite to you and @Cuttlefish1111 I thought the first half was good then it jumps the shark.

        Still glad I watched it, I like to riff off a quote “buT tHhe GIRL had to… do the dishes with scissors” or whatever.
