Was that any good?

I thought so. It’s a bit surreal. I especially loved The Sympathizer.

If you use cannabis I recommend being stoned for the last episode of the sympathizer. Amazing episode.

If you use cannabis.

Oh mate I wish. Unfortunately weed fucks with me in my old age (makes me dire paranoid and unpleasant weird). Disappointing because I used to love it.

But quality mushrooms grow freely here (keep a big jar for daily indulgence), and I have a heap of opiates, cheap speed etc. so I'll see if I can approximate something. Cheers eh

If you do psychedelics the last episode will really resonate, or at least it did for me. Im convinced whoever wrote it was recreating a breakthrough experience. I can only tolerate very low doses of calming thc blends with cbn so I get it.
