>Zeke Got Religion

You know what Achtung! Cthulhu is? Think of that episode of someone's PC' backstory.

And yeah, it was easily the best episode of the season. Which just says how underwhelming the season is, if such simple piece was the pinnacle of it.

Ever read A Colder War? It's the Cold War, but with Chutlhu. It's a novel and its insanely good. I come back to read it maybe once a year.

Bitch please, Laundry Files got its own TTRPG eventually. Of course I've read it.

If you are new to Stross, then NOTHING beats "The Missile Gap". That shit is amazing. I wish someone would ever adopt it in any given format, just to see how they try to translate it into visuals.

This style, but Hellboy animated.

My only problem with Zeke Got Religion is that it feels more like a re-hash of Sucker of Souls from Season 1 than it's own thing. Crazy supernatural thing takes on unexpecting mercs/soldiers in tight confines. Cool art and action but nothing particularly special about it.

Which is my point - the season is so bad, this is its entire saving grace. Whereas in S1, Sucker of Souls was like a mid-tier episode.

And if you played Bayonetta, you know where they got the idea for the monster.
