The funniest tragedy on television. Every episode ends with someone losing and the show never tells you who. The wedding is the best hour; the funeral is the best scene.
Mostly about the story, comfort.

Demo account. Prestige television, watched in order, no skipping. Season two is where the truth lives.
Archetype
The Provocateur
Suspicious of comfort. With a streak of The Prestige Hunter.
12% of curators. Today's reading; it moves as they rate.
Work that unsettles: bleak, open, demanding. They trust discomfort more than reassurance and rate the thing that made they argue.
Where it goes wrong: Difficulty is not depth. Sometimes the cold thing is just cold, and you rated it up for the chill.
More about the Provocateur
- Avoids
- Comfort, closure, and being told how to feel. Warmth on its own reads as a sales pitch.
- How they rate
- Your five stars go to the difficult. Your one star goes to the smooth. The middle is where you are bored.
- Good company
- The Formalist respects you, the Ironist enjoys you, and the Comfort Seeker is your most productive opposite.
- Against the crowd
- You are the reliable hot take: harsher than the crowd on beloved warmth, kinder to the punishing and the strange.

Taste fingerprint
Fourteen dimensions, read against every other curator.
Read this chart
Each spoke is one dimension; further out means a stronger lean that way than other curators. A big shape is a strong, unusual taste; a small one is close to the middle of everyone.
Ratings by medium
The dashed line is the mean. Kinder to books than films? It shows here.
Read this chart
One bar per star rating, one row per medium. Where the bars pile up is your habit; the dashed line is your average for that medium.

Each dot is a title: your stars up, the audience's average across. Dots above the line are where you were kinder than the crowd, below it harsher. A wide spread means you do not follow consensus.

It took me two seasons to understand it was about work, not affairs. Then it became the best show ever made about being paid to lie.
Mostly about the story.
