This One is Worth Your Time
Despite the genre and subject matter, which doesn't usually interest me, this show is one of my new favorites. It's up there with True Detective in flawless execution. I think if this team did an eight hour miniseries on how a cardboard box is made it would have audiences glued to their seats. They're just that good. I heard a quote somewhere from a famous composer or a musician who said that music is made in the silence between notes. I'm paraphrasing, but this show exhibits the film version of that notion. The acting is fantastic and the writing is even better, but the true beauty of this story is in how they tell it. This is obviously about an affair, and the resulting consequences, but it is told from two different perspectives in a way that I've never seen before. It felt so fresh. My absolute favorite character in this show is the ever present discrepancy between the two versions. There are so many subtleties and layers to the story, and as each episode paints on another coat the differences begin to mean so much more. You just have to experience it. There is so much trash on TV we're all standing in it up to our knees Once in great while a show reminds me that good television can be a work of art. This is one of those shows. Don't miss it. God only knows when another pearl will come along.
