I've seen this talked about a lot on social media so I may have to check it out! Although looking at the list of easter eggs I'm not sure I've ever actually seen any of their past work, so I don't know how much I'll get out of it

I might end up watching this.

I'm a big fan of Flanagan and have been following his career for a long time. I've even seen his low-budget student films! If you have the time, I recommend at least watching his first 3 Netflix series: The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and Midnight Mass (in addition to this new show). They are all very strong projects that stand on their own, but end up being elevated by each other due to references and shared cast members!
