Taking Risks

In the premiere episode, Poppy takes to the streets, offering disturbing fortunes and casually unraveling senses of reality. And a chance encounter with Franz Ferdinand—the Archduke, not the band—warps the fabric of time.

Episode 6 - NatureE614m

Nature

In this unsettlingly whimsical finale, Poppy invites a basil plant onto the show for a deep dive into the natural sciences. Then, Poppy heads to the LA Zoo to see the “exhibits” where her detached commentary turns the visit into a dark metaphor about captivity, futility, and the thin line between observer and observed. And Poppy gives a season ending performance taking us all into the wilderness.
