HBO announced this weekend that it has chosen to cancel the satirical series following its eight-episode first season, which aired its final installment near the end of November.

Nosferatu star Lily-Rose Depp likely knows a thing or two about which movies traumatize an audience. Her central role in Robert Eggers’ latest film is unsettling, to say the least. Which is why it might come as a surprise to some that, in a recent interview with the U.K. version of Harper’s Bazaar., she said that one of her most traumatizing childhood watches was Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands, which stars her father, Johnny Depp, as its central character. “I was traumatized by it,” Depp explained. “Not because I thought he was scary, but because everyone was being so mean to him,…
