The best work of metamodern tv to date is probably Kevin Can F**k Himself starring Annie Murphy (Alexis from Schitt’s Creek). But I couldn’t watch past the first season. This suggests to me that it’s a fundamentally limited artistic movement. The problem is that metaness even at its best is fundamentally at odds with ludicrous immersion. Nathan Fielder, EEAAO, Taika Waititi etc are all overrated self-indulgence as a service imo. Rick and Morty almost hit the right balance between meta and ludicrous before overreaching. The Deadpool movies are borderline. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Can_F**k_Himself

I feel like great metamodern work need to actually survive on its modernist side, not on its postmodernity. The latter is the entry point and provides juxtaposition, but you still need to tell a good story without the meta introspection. I just started KCFH and the dark side bears the weight of it.

Like, the sincere side of metamodernism need to be good by itself.
