What Black Mirror wishes it could do lol

Thai cinema keeps evolving and I'm here for it. I wish people would know more than lakorns when it comes to Thai shows. This is innovation and artistry at its finest.

First off, Ep1-4 are ONE-TAKE and they're around 20 mins each so that blows my mind already considering the timing needs to be perfect for syncing the episodes. I watched the behind the scenes of rehearsals and honestly, I have so much respect for the cast and crew. Like they built the set from scratch and everything. I can't wait for this director to get more projects!!!

Plot is quite simple. I won't go into it but I loved it. Thematic wise, the ending is sad but satisfying. There's not much context between the relationship of the characters (and it's not necessary) but it's just enough to drive the themes.

Honestly, the whole aesthetic felt very futuristic/sci-fi-like. You have the incredible strong contrast, neon lighting work and the beautiful Biblical-themed set, which was very unique btw. I watched this in 1440p and it was a visual galore (4k is also available but I took mercy on my poor laptop). If this is the trend for 2021, I'm on board.

Everyone watch this NOW. It's free with subs on the Nadao Bangkok youtube channel.
