The way the series was shot and edited makes every single thing that happens feel like it takes so long. Just a character sitting down to do something or getting up. They’re single shots and there’s no edits or cuts. You’re literally just watching the actors move in real time. Watching feels like you’re constantly waiting for something to happen, anything, but nothing does.

it is so agonizingly slow that even watching it 15% sped up still feels slow.

The actors also speak so slow that even when sped up, their speaking still sounds normal.

I watched the whole 1st episode and if you removed all of the walking, entering and exiting rooms, and adjusting themselves to sit down or stand up, the episode would be 10 or 15 minutes long. But it’s 40 minutes long.

Watching the first episode gave me bad college film flashbacks.
