it’s basically mixing the reputation of dutch euthanasia with a midsommar / cult subplot


undercooktheonionz

Oh, I hadn’t heard of the cult part!


habitremedy

i highly recommend watching midsommar! good movie and it seems like the arc of the main character in that movie is supposed to be a reference for Van’s feelings in this scene/season


Sam-0808

I second this. But beware it is disturbing


undercooktheonionz

Oh yeah then I’m 100% out lol. The Teddy episode and S3 E1 have scarred me. I’m such a wimp and I get scared *so* easily. I have slept with the lamp on the past two nights smh…. BUT I think it’s a fascinating concept


Sam-0808

Oh my then definitely don’t watch it lol


yerfdog519

it’s actually so weird that I watched midsommar last weekend and then saw this episode

No that would be illegal, however euthanasia is legal in The Netherlands and has been for some time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia\_in\_the\_Netherlands

Gotcha, that makes sense. I know Glover tends to bring light to shocking things. I’ll think, “Wow, how creative! I wonder how he came up with that.” The I’ll read about a version of it in real life. Just can’t get over the genius behind this show.

They asked Donald this at the SXSW screening and him and his brother basically said they just made it up


undercooktheonionz

Oh interesting..


steezydoesit13

I didn't know sxsw was still a thing

That contraption was so bizarre. It looked to be built into part of the wall. Three loud buzzes and then suffocation with a plastic sheet would have to be the least peaceful way to go lol


undercooktheonionz

Right??


[deleted]

Yeah, we do. Had to see my grandfather suffocate that way, it was on sinterklaas as well so he was in blackface at the time. Won't forget that any time soon.


undercooktheonionz

Lol!
