On Becoming a God in Central Florida

As I'm writing i can't get off my head Krystal's words of the last aired episode (Ep 6) "Being broke it hurts like bad" and it hited so hard because it's what this show has been telling us since it started and i'm very grateful about that, I'm grateful because you don't get to see this subject of economic survival being a problem in a lot of contents lately coming from series and movies. Yes, their are characters in other series who struggles but it's only a tool to describe something else. On becoming a god is a critical statement about the evolving and brutal capitalism we're living in, it's not surprising for me that it was hard to find a platform for it because this content makes you think about a lot of stuff that we don't when we're watching TV. Kirsten Dunst is an amazing actress and plays the part of Krystal just perfectly, like her two biggest costars here Thédore Pellerin and Mel Rodriguez who are fantastic as Cody and Ernie. The writing, the characters, and also the subtle comedic tone of it makes this show a 10/10 for me. If you haven't seen it already give it a chance because it's worthy.

So many conversations in this show brought back memories of being involved with a multi-level marketing company. It rang so true with the ridiculous motivational recordings and the up-line sponsor pushing you to quit your job and spend more money with the MLM even though you are already massively in debt because of it. And of course the spline sponsor only being concerned with the royalties they will lose if you quit while pretending to be concerned about you.

Brings back memories of all the people I knew who looked, and acted, successful on stage talking about the MLM business opportunity, yet in their real lives they were dead broke and about to lose their homes and marriages.

The MLM motto of, "Fake it, till you make it!" was definitely shown in this show.

A great start to the series about an early 90's mother determined to thrive despite her late husband's ties to a pyramid scam. Kirsten Dunst and cast are dynamic and the script & setting is so far a winner. In my personal opinion Dunst is a fantastic actress and I'll watch just about anything she's in. Despite being passed over for her phenomenal performance in Fargo here she is again nailing yet another role. I'm hoping this show continues to deliver because I am hooked to see what unfolds next for her character. And yes I will be very suprised if she is not nominated and given her long awaited & well deserved Emmy win. Watch the show. You will not be disappointed.

This is the best dark comedy I've seen in years. The whole cast is phenomenal, the characters feel so natural! After the mixed reviews I read on here, I reluctantly gave it a try and in the end, I was very positively surprised. Kirsten Dunst is at her best, honestly didn't expect this much. The show does have some crazy dark comedy scenes that are there to be crazy, which I'm not too fond of in movies, but even those were done in an original way. Binged on it, waiting for the second season!

Excellent series with an extraordinary Kristen Dunst, I love this actress of a magnificent talent who raises the whole series, an excellent screenplay and a nice sarcastic vision of money. A black sarcastic comedy, where we laugh in certain situations and we stoke the underlying plot of the dramatic side, the whole is very coherent and with this main actress who shines there, she alone ignites the whole series.
