(How many people do we think have seen the original movie?)

That’s hard to say - it came out in 1982, but it has a cult following (I myself have watched it a minimum of 7 times if not more - and have already watched the series in two days while I was sick) - but folks will DEFINITELY want to watch it once the seasons are over (there HAS to be a second season - season 1 does not anywhere connect the two stories yet).
Be warned (and there is a warning on each episode) that there is a lot of strobing light for those who have photosensitivity. It was jarring to my brain quite a bit every episode.

Strobing light, also puppet torture and seriously some extreme trauma threads. Puppets or not, really serious stuff.
And a lot of medicine with it.

It is a very intense experience for someone whose friends are being killed while people continue to overlook it, the way ours are.
Most people don't realize that things like this are going on under their noses right now.
Makes the experience of fiction quite different.

Differently painful, brings different kinds of blessings.

' I could have used a distraction, but the Netflix puppet show about a mystical world filled with elfin-like heroes and adorable furry creatures offered no relief.
Instead, I saw reflections of these real-world nightmares, including deceit, environmental destruction, and death.
Was I reading too far into it, my mind warped by the onslaught of tragedies presented by cable news?
As I interviewed the cast and artists behind the show, I told them about my view of it.
Co-executive producer and writer Jeffrey Addiss had the most succinct answer:
"We wanted it to be upsetting."
Mission accomplished. '

' In the new series, set long before the original 1982 movie, the elfin Gelfling are being tricked by the ruling Skeksis, a small cabal of giant, snot-filled, vulture-esque villains. The Skeksis' mostly hands-off dictatorship begins to turn when their sniveling scientist discovers they can grow more powerful and even approach immortality by draining and consuming the "essence" of the noble Gelfling. The first episode ends with what seems to be one of the two Gelfling protagonists having her essence drained, a torturous process that has her screaming until she turns to dust.
To a person, everyone I spoke to, from Addiss and his creative partner Will Matthews to director Louis Leterrier and star Jason Isaacs, laughed when I mentioned how striking it was to watch this innocent puppet be tormented and mutilated. Many said that in the writers' room and on set, they had a shared mantra: "This ain't The Happy Crystal."
It's a fun show, no doubt, with fanciful creatures and gorgeous new sets, but those things only serve to make the dark parts even scarier. Leterrier says that he saw the original film, which was directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz, when he was far too young, and it left him "traumatized." It also inspired him to be a filmmaker, and so he sought to bring back both the classic puppetry techniques with which the original film was made and its macabre and downright sinister undertones. '

Deck: Tarot of the Vampyres
Spread: Card of the Day
Date: Tue Sep 17 22:24:25 EDT 2019
Today's Card
THE MOON (Reversed)
Essence
Encountering and releasing our inner fears. Facing our Shadows. Illusion and fantasy. Arousing our imagination. Dreams and nightmares. Entering the image world of the soul. The fantastical and bizarre. Peculiar or strange. Bewitchments. Glamour. The inconceivable or incomprehensible. Descent into the Underworld. Deep inner questing that leads to the rebirth of light. Reincarnation. Reawakening or resurrection. Dream work and visualization. Exploring the depths of the unconscious. Secretive, mysterious or ambiguous. The furthest reaches of our subconscious. Elusive or intangible. Occult knowledge. Seductive sorcery. Addictions and intoxication. Ghosts and Phantoms. Eerie, macabre, sinister or cryptic. The realm of the dead.
Message
The Moon card represents the depths of our unconscious and the fantastical aspect of our being. It is eerie and illusory by nature and relates to the deep psychological images of the soul. When the card appears, it is often an omen that something mysterious, elusive or intangible is contained within the issue. This may relate to the nature of the situation, indicating that there is a illusionary or cryptic quality present, or that the issue is deeply woven in our subconscious. Sometimes The Moon emerges when we are fearful or feeling lost, experiencing haunting thoughts or emotions that the path ahead seems incomprehensible. In this aspect the card is related to the sinister moonlight of our fears or nightmare. We are urged to take one step at a time along this mysterious path, to be aware of our inner signs and intuition in order to pass through these mists toward the light. The Moon is also a calling for us to look to our dreams and subconscious for understanding. We must put aside rational reasoning and trust in the realm of our imagination. Fantasy and creativity can aid us in revealing hidden messages from our unconscious. To unravel these messages we can employ dream analysis, create very spontaneous art, such as creative writing or painting. This should be done without any logical thought, but rather just a series of almost random thoughts and feelings. When the exercise is complete we can use our reasoning mind to interpret and analyse them. The card can also be a call for us to live out our fantasises, to explore the unknown or dare to divert from what is safe and known.
The Moon teaches us that the night of fear and confusion will soon come to an end. We have reached the depths of despair or soul-searching and the sun will soon arise. This relates to the aspect of the card as a journey through darkness to reach the light where we will be reawakened to the joys of life and deepest understanding. This promise of morning arises after we have delved into the pit of our deep fears and gained control of our shadows. These fears and shadows then reveal themselves to be just illusions, that only exist because something is blocking the flow of light. Discovering what these blockages are and sweeping them aside leads us to transformation and freedom. This requires a journey into the underworld of the unconscious depths and can be a daunting experience, where we must resist being led astray by shadows and illusions which are merely mirages projected from irrational fears eclipsing the light. In these times everything seems strange and unfamiliar or extraordinary, our senses are heightened as we regress into more primal instincts. We should not fear these experiences because they cannot harm us. Rather we can view them as an enticing ghost story that concludes with an emergence into The Sun (the following card) and towards deepest self knowledge. We will also gain greater skills in intuitive knowledge and expanded awareness. In many cases The Moon is a sign that we are feeling lost or wandering aimlessly and that we must find our way back to our path find clarity of purpose. Although this card is shadowy and peculiar it is not always disturbing. It can be bewitching
