Oh, to see Maggie Cheung on screen again, even if it's old footage, and framed in meta real-life framework too. Just lovely.
This great episode is a fascinating and (thankfully) very playful rabbit hole of meta framework in general. The Robert Pattinson stand-in (even before the show digs into their history, I was like "is that referring to _High Life)?") and Eidinger's satirical, profane quips/rants are fun. The latter steals the episode for me.
I think it's genius that in the trailer they made a big deal about the scene where Edmond is hanging himself, and he is told to suffocate, but nothing happens at this moment. The accident happen after. I knew something bad was going to happen in this episode, I just didn't know what

It seemed out of character for Edmond, an actor who had a strong opinion about every scene he was in, to simply go along with an unnecessarily dangerous stunt where he could have been replaced with a sack of potatoes and no one would have noticed.
