The first episode comes across like a romantic comedy as the book smart Aniq (Richardson) has his sights set squarely on reuniting with his former high school crush Zoe (Zoe Chao). His night is immersed entirely in their time reconnecting, from sweetly sneaking into the teacher’s lounge to dipping into the stash of confiscated goods to almost enjoy...
Flip to episode 2, with events recalled by jock Brett (Barinholtz), whose bravado shines as he recollects events as though he was the lead in an action movie. It includes thrilling sequences as he fights a security guard to get into a house party, embarks on a high-speed car chase to retrieve his daughter’s stuffed animal, and has an intense conver...
A musical is the theme for episode 3, brightening the mood as Yasper (Schwartz) embellishes his version of events by including an elaborate song-and-dance routine that likely never actually happened (though, in his mind, it did). It’s a complete departure from Brett’s high-octane recollection, with a lighthearted vibe that’s reminiscent of Glee and...
Meanwhile, Chelsea (Glazer), who was ostracized in school following a traumatic incident, remembers the night very differently. It’s more like a psychological thriller to her as she runs, terrified, from a purported stalker who she believes is responsible for the threatening text messages she has been receiving all night. It’s ominous and intense a...
Episode 5 tells the true story of what happened to Chelsea through flashbacks to a St. Patrick’s Day party in high school. It presents like a teen drama from the 1980s or ’90s, complete with all the house party shenanigans you’d expect from awkward high schoolers letting loose when the adults are away. The style is reminiscent of any John Hughes mo...
Zoe (Zoe Chao), the sweet, kind, and popular girl, always did the right thing. So it comes as no surprise that the episode focused on her is presented as a playful,animated show. But the animation is used as a vehicle for Zoe to effectively express how she was fighting her different personalities that night. While she wanted to let loose and have f...
With episode 7 focused on Danner, the buddy cop genre is explored, and is similar to a stereotypical police procedural like Law & Order: SVU. It’s a murder mystery in its own right, complete with the rookie cop trying to make a name for herself. She takes risks to solve a seemingly open-and-shut case she believes might put the wrong person in jail,...
