Probably my least favorite episode of the 3 so far. Still good, just pretty boring. It would also help if Ralph would talk up a little bit. Its like he's whispering everything.

Yeah I was thinking he had been doppleganged and wasn't actually responsible for those murders as well just like Terry.


Same exact thing. Gibney found the case online about two girls found dead by the river. I think this is their way of tying in the doppelgänger and how it came across Terry.

The only thing I don’t follow at the moment is why this doppelgänger had an interest in eliminating the entire Peterson family. Why is that relevant?

My guess is that he's just tying up all the loose ends.

During the promo, Stephen King said the entire story developed from an idea of the same person being in two different places at the same time, and how in today's modern age that would create

The doppleganger probably just did what he always does. Kill a child and drink their blood for whatever reason and then pin it on some local dupe, whose identity he is able to steal. That's why he went to the strip club and called a cab and told the cabbie to call it in to dispatch, etc.

But Bateman's character had an airtight alibi and now the doppleganger has to react to avoid detection. So kill Bateman and kill the victim's family and people will stop investigating because all of the principals are dead.

I understand that, but the Peterson family has no intention of going after anyone other than Maitland. The way the story is laid out, they have no idea that the doppelgänger even exists. As far as they know, Maitland is the guilty party and that’s it.

There’s really no loose end there with the Peterson’s.

Yeah I'm not even really trying to figure it out. Just enjoying it show by show. I've chimed in here and there here but that's about it.

That last scene tonight with the PI in the bath tub, that was so well done. So much tension and so chilling

John Wick= Baba Yaga

El Coco= Hispanic version of Baba Yaga

John Wick= El Coco



Conclusion= Keanu Reeves is the bad guy in the show.

El Cocu, the grief eater. A shapeshifter where children are its main course and any grieving family of the children are it’s dessert.

I've seen 3 episodes. It's pretty captivating.

Jason Bateman though is the exact same character in everything he does, so don't expect much out of him.
