On Becoming a God in Central Florida (Netflix) - dark comedy

[SinkGirl]

Anyone watching this? I’m really enjoying it - about an MLM in the 80s

Kirsten Dunst is brilliant and it’s so enjoyable

Is it a film or series?

It's so good. I really loved it.
The 80sness is just enough and not too in your face.

It’s a series (think it’s 10 episodes, we have a couple left to go). They’ve really nailed the MLM side 😬

Thanks, I'll give it ago, I haven't seen anything about it.

I thought it was a really missed opportunity. I’m part way through and it’s gone very weird.

Made me think how good a 1990s/2000s pyramid scheme programme would be, something like Amway based on 4 main people.

I started this last week and am nearly finished. I’ve enjoyed it but the second half is very strange. It’s gone very David Lynch (I do love DL!).

I'm watching. Agree it has gone a bit strange and I've lost track a bit.

I absolutely loved it.
They really nailed the cult like MLM mindset.
Kirsten Dunst is brilliant, infact all the cast is.
The alligator moment !!! So darkly hilarious.

It was absolutely brilliant!!

It really was, I was a bit gutted to see the 2nd series was cancelled due to covid, but I think it ended perfectly when I think about it more

I really enjoyed it. I loved the neighbours, the chap getting so into the cult and his wife watching her husband turn into someone unrecognisable.

I didn't realise Bets was Beth Ditto.
She played the part amazingly.

Loved it - and gutted they're not doing a second season. But that may change.

It was agreed, then cancelled apparently.

I didn't realise Bets was Beth Ditto. She played the part amazingly.

I was surprised too. Had no idea she acted and was so good.

She really was, her and Ernie were a brilliant couple, I wanted to hug him and shake him so many times.
Every character was so good, It was such a find on Netflix, so glad i stumbled across it.
I've not heard anything about it!

So disappointing that this prog was a victim of COVID too.

I’ve tried it, but could only get through a few episodes. It just didn’t grab me.

I keep lurching between thinking they've nailed the mlm thing and wondering wtf it's going on.

I think they nailed it.
The products are absolute crap, its all about the insanity of the recruiting and the promise of it all coming good one day.
Nobody apart from the top guy was making money.
Stinker thinkers is like the language the MLM bots use
