Apocalypse Goals

If you have any background of Syd and Olivia's sketch comedy, you will naturally go into this series with extremely high expectations. I was afraid my expectations wouldn't be met in this more professional and storyline-based show, but I found myself laughing out loud while also being drawn to the beautifully written story. The show's 25 episodes are five minutes each, and are filmed in the unusual portrait mode (9:16 aspect), which is non-standard, and goes to show how independent these girls are from the norm. The humour is surrealistically brilliant and the consistent single storyline is packed with surprises and wonderful intricacies, and it's inherently true to Syd and Olivia's artistic direction. The casting is fantastic and so is the acting - namely that of Olivia DeLaurentis. If you're new to this show, allow yourself to hope for the best and wait for the best, because it delivers.
