TOtDY wasn't showing in the maintitles to watch, wasn't advertised anywhere and I stumbled upon it by using search on Primevideo. It was just like finding a treasure.
Each episode is like a slow movie and the story slowly unfolds and just gets better after the fifth episode. Combining electronic new age music with slow camera, slow everything. Dialogue like of Kaurismaki film, film without an inner logic, mysterious like David Lynch film and violent at times and feeling unsafe about watching it. Refn isn't much into storytelling and explaining things and that makes it more mysterious. It's great that some directors don't underestimate viewers and make it challenging.
Arthouse tv show is very rare of its kind and I'll keep on hoping that Primevideo platform re-invents something less mainstream like this. It didn't need a second season, because the story came to an end. It's great that they didn't want to prolong and keep making stuff that starts to repeat itself.
Watching it is a challenge, keep watching it'll become more rewarding.
