I absolutely love how Nathan keeps blurring the lines between how the audience feels they are supposed to parse the narrative and how he is explicitly communicating it. The way he lampshades stuff while actively letting the audience in on the purpose of the lampshading (i.e. the clown stuck under the car bit from S2S1) is so genius because it makes you keep guessing and trying to outsmart him. The actor acknowledging the war room framing in the Paramount conversation was another example.
He’s playing with us on so many levels that it’s just unreal.
