Recently I watched a certain Apple TV show that I won’t name for spoilers, but it pretty much plays as one genre for the first 2/3rds of its season and then at the very ends shows its hand that actually the show is a completely different genre….which I found a fascinating way to take genre tropes and ideas and push them upside down….
But it made me think are there any other shows that have intentionally mislead the audience into thinking it’s a completely different genre of show before?
