The Edge of Sleep

The Edge of Sleep, for the first time in years; is a pure original work of art in the making by people the deserve loads of recognition. The story-telling, the Cinematography, the color grading, the sound design; all peices together to nicely. Mark Fischbach deserves the recognition for his creative talent, he amongst others are going to change the industry forever with these works of art. They executed this incredibly well. The entire series so far felt very well polished, like those older movies thay felt truly original and new to watch for the first time ever.

From one producer to another, let's tell some real and original stories 🍸

I was incredibly impressed with the way The Edge of Sleep came to be. This was an absolutely incredible experience of psychological horror to go through. It was a perfect depiction of combining the fiction of the story with the real effects of sleep deprivation.

My only complaint is there were a few moments where I felt the acting was just a little subpar and slightly forced, however all actors/actresses were perfect in depicting their character. There were also a few moments where parts of the story felt slightly rushed, however I guess that is just to fit the narrative of the podcast.

I look forward to a season 2 and would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who enjoys good psychological horror.

I was honestly amazed at how well done everything was, I had a few nitpicks here and there but overall I had an amazing time watching this and couldn't help but finish it all in one sitting. I loved the progression of the story although I did find the sudden jump cuts to be a little unnecessary at times, and the acting was genuine and heartfelt. There were also some visual effects that I thought were a bit wonky but it was mostly in the first episode and after that they really hit their stride and it was a beauty to watch. I wasn't expecting a whole lot from it but it took those expectations and shattered it while I look forward to a season 2.

I initially started the series because of The Plan. I had doubts that it would be the tone the trailer portrayed. Even though I'm a fan of Markiplier's YouTube, I wasn't convinced he could pull off a serious tone.

I've been convinced otherwise after (accidentally) finishing the series today. The series is genuinely intriguing.

The Linda and Matteo characters are performed very well and drive the audience onward into the story with their emotions. Scenes are sometimes off-put by whale imagery, which I assume is a metaphor, as this and similar aspects related to the unexplained "illness" are just that, unexplained (as of yet). However, the story is excellent and had me on the "edge" of my seat.

This series does a great job of keeping you feeling just as on edge as the characters in it. It has a really interesting and unique take for an apocalypse horror/sci-fi show. It is not super scary (not very jumpscare-esque) but it does feel tense the whole time and has some gross and scary features.

Positives: Creative and interesting

Spooky and intense and disorienting (in a good way? I think it's purposeful)

Has a very catchy intro song

Negatives: Some plot holes if you over analyze.

Sometimes the jokes or comedy relief fall... short?

Sometimes the actors don't feel believable for a few scenes.
