Most of reviews here seem to want to hate on this for being women-centric, and in doing so, they miss that this really has serious issues. Like, each episode has a good idea, but not enough of a good idea to make up a full episode, so each episode has long scenes that serve no purpose, where character is looking confused while looking at what's going on around them. Like, it would be much more entertaining if they made one movie, or maybe two, maybe cramming all these allegories into one movie, and that movie would appear weird, like something Lynch would make, but would be more meaningful than Lynch movie, precisely because of metaphors. That way it could all be entertaining instead of being spread to thin.
You could put none-allegorical stories into another movie. Like story with Alison Brie, that one had 0 metaphors and was pretty much exactly what it was. It is also the only episode (out of those 5 I've seen so far) that didn't need fast forwarding. It might even be good enough to be a standalone movie
Another big problem is that it's anthology series, which, I don't know why they keep making these, like, as soon as you get used to a character, that character is gone for good. Just make movies ffs, no one likes anthologies
Anywho, might have been better if episodes were shorter, cause with exception of Brie episode which could have been longer, 4 other episodes I've seen were all dragging, some could have easily been no longer than 20 minutes to be completely entertaining.
