Maybe the 5th episode of the 6th season was written by an AI and they were playing some 4D chess game all along with our minds, because otherwise, I wonder how such fucking trash got the green light to be produced 🤗
Edit: Typo
This. I think the only one I really thought was good was the Aaron Paul one where they went into space... I might be someone neo-ludditish but that movie shows some true terrors of those who want to eradicate technologies and the individuals associated with them. Cold ending...
By far my favorite episode of this season, it felt like a refreshing scifi 50's comic, it felt like reading something new from asimov. The retro-aesthetic was a nice artistic decision to tell us that tech doesn't have to be super advanced to tell a good story. On top of this, they subverted my expectations at least 3 times:

First, when the guy who draws sees the wife of aaron, I immediately though the story would be that she cheats on him and they both play mindgames on aaron who eventually looses his family. But no, she does feel something about the other guy but to my surprise, never cheats on aaron

When the guy started to paint the house I though that "of course, he paints the wife naked because they have sex, and then aaron discovers this". Indeed it happens, but interestingly, not because the other astronaut had sex with aaron's wife

By the end it was veeery clear to me that the other guy will either kill aaron, or trap him in some way to take control of him and live his life. It was obvious to me that the other astronaut was going to eject aaron from the ship an cast him away in space to then report that aaron had gone missing on space. I was extreeemely confident about this in the scene where the door is taking long to be opened, but no. Actually, yes, the other guy fucks aaron, but by killing his family so that he learns to value what he has, I found that quite unexpected and interesting
What I didn't get from the episode was what they were tying to tell with the child, I'm not sure what is that meant to communicate
