I try to catch everything he's in. I even enjoyed the 1 good season of Perry Mason before they tried to hamfist the 2nd season down everyone's throat.

"I was trying to be supportive"
As Patricia is wearing antlers and cutting animals in the kitchen.
Patricia's party was a riot. I kept thinking when the mean girls and all started dancing, that something is wrong and wanted to feel happy for Patricia, but knew something was up.
Then as Patricia was dancing in the middle of the crowd the camera panned past a mirror and you could see everyone's mouth open wide in a trance. It was a great subtle and fast hint that something was screwed up.

Is Patricia's party ep 4?
Her being chased by the boogeyman was awesome too.
I guess a couple of the best episodes were all about Patricia.
The haunted inn episode was awesome too. All the guys in the restaurant daring the Mayor to do all these things in the Inn like grade school kids.

I still don't know what happened when the Inn Keeper went into the room for 10sec and the room was all a strewn when he came out freaked out, telling them "it was only supposed to be for 10 sec".

yeah

ep 5 was the trip ("i think your dad is looking for you" )

ep 6 the flashback to 1702

the Patricia party episode was one of the worst ones for me. And keep in mind, I really liked/loved the entirety of the show, so even my "worst ones" are still great TV (similar to Pixar; even the worst ones are still great movies).

But it was just a little too over the top for me in terms of believability, I guess. Same with the episode where the killer was chasing her. That one was a low point as well, even though I respected the homage aspect of it.

And Patricia was my favorite character, but those hyper-focused episodes on her were disappointing for me.

Man, those are my two favorite episodes.

Diff'rent strokes...

Oh, I'm in the very small minority on that take. 100%.

And I liked both episodes. To me it shows the quality of the show if that's the worst episodes for me.

I was going to post earlier that you’re probably alone on that hill.

I’m fairly certain that Patricia’s party episode (e4) is the highest rated of the season and a consensus fan favorite.

The showrunner Katie Dippold gave some insights on season 2.

I think it's going to... we're going to try to follow the same thing. We're just organically following the fun. So some things will be monster-of-the-week, some things are going to be diving into the bigger story, getting into the lore, you know, and also seeing more point-of-view episodes from characters we haven't seen yet. Like, I think you're going to see a lot more Bashir, a lot more Rosemary and Dale.

This is how you know how good it is
