Into the Dark banked a few episodes before the Coronapocalypse
before shutting down productions going all the way to July before going on hiatus. This was very unfortunate for me because August
is the month I most look forward to being the month with no major holidays. Though the first season gave us a start of
school themed episode which was kind of anticlimactic but did make plenty of
sense. The anthology series is back just
in time for Valentine’s Day which gave us one of the best episodes of the first
season, but also one of the worst episodes of the second season.
The third February episode Tentacles falls in the middle of
those two. The story follows a homeless woman who goes around
to open house for the free cookies and if she is lucky, no one notices she hid
in the closet and finds a place to sleep for the night. But after a chance encounter with a photographer
/ house flipper who has a place where she can crash, she may have some stability
in her life. Well, stability and copious
amount of sex with the photographer / house flipper including a sex session so
long they showed it is fast forward as to not add an extra ten to twenty
minutes to the episode.
After a slow start (probably why they put in copious amounts
of sex at the beginning) things start to get really creepy and you begin to realize
what you thought the episode was about is a completely different thing leading
to a pretty satisfying ending for fans of the horror genre. But this makes the eleventh episode released
in the second season and the twelfth and final episode coming next month. So I do wonder if it is renewed, will Hulu start
season three right in April or wait to launch in October like the previous season. Hopefully it is right away, might as well
produce the August and September scripts I am sure were already written, and
yes I am suggesting this so I would not have to wait another year and a half
for the next August episode. Really, I mostly want weird, more obscure holidays for a potential third season.
Into the Dark: Tentacles premieres tomorrow only on Hulu.
