No exaggeration; it was not just the best show I watched in 2022; it was one of the top five shows I've ever watched. I've rarely been on the edge of my seat as I was during the season finale. And this was for a show that typically kept a rather casual pace, for the most part. It's just that it was so good at planting tidbits and pieces along the way that it kept driving you to want to know more. As you noted, the performances are excellent. The cinematography is great and often off putting. The music switches from weird and subtle, and then you have explosions of jazz that just make it even weirder. It all comes together into such a unique package that I was completely taken by it. I screamed when the finale came to a finish. That final moment? Screamed. I've introduced it to all my friends and all of them love it.
