Great rundown, have you thought of doing one for the CBS show, Evil?

[@randyhx]

I agree. It started off real strong and mysterious, but I think that they wrapped it up somewhat forced. It’s a good one off series, and your right it’s worth your time.

[@zsomborbudai7473]

For sure. In my opinion there is a huuge drop in quality after episode 3. Massive plot holes in the second 3 episodes.

[@metalmaddnes29]

@@zsomborbudai7473 you should watch the live stream event called "autumn", it explains what happened between the first 3 episodes and the last 3 episodes

[@vikingodin1986]

They had a brilliant premise to work with but it felt like they had enough for 3 episodes but dragged it out for 6 and the ending was a huge let down...imo

[@coramarcu3741]

I still haven't found satisfying answers to some details in the film: --> why did Epona pour salt into her water before drinking? --> why was there salt around the bathroom sink, or later on leaves around the sink, or various dishes around the back entrance of the AirBnb cottage? --> who was Epona talking about when Sam saved her from hanging and she said "Don't call the police, he will kill me?" --> why did the island look familiar to Sam when he first got there? --> were the hallucinations that he had on his first night there just drunken psychotic visions, or was he remembering things? --> what was the deal with Jess and her husband who apparently knew the people on that island, and how did her daughters end up being island prisoners, since they were supposed to be in their father's custody? There's probably other questions too that I can't think of right now, but yeah, I'm a bit upset right now. I need more of this to make sense, or to come full circle.

[@crieverytim]

Was Jess' husband on the island? But yeah, that was unsatisfying. Trying to keep an open mind but i feel like that had us get invested in the wrong story.

[@crieverytim]

Definitely would keep me from recommending it to most ppl, as much as i enjoyed it

[@yasisoufi]

What I saw is how well made the show was and how they blend the melancholia of the location with the mental melancholy of Sam (that he passed to her daughter too as we heard she had issues back at school ) with grief that again her wife blames on his flings that caused it. All this comes together with this deserted island a perfect location for crazy superstitions rusting through people and blame their misfortune and try to solve it with rusty religious rituals. The fact that once they relied on tourism for the beauty of the tradition but due to changes of time they are forgotten and poor add to the insanity . Now Sam a mental grieving man is like the best prey for a small cult worshiping community in the middle of that stunning nowhere! What I loved about the show was this great melange of mental illness, poverty and superstition and how sometimes they are come together in strange locations and trap some people. And how you might be the woman in love with someone that you wanted to ignore his madness but at the end you have to leave him in his island and escape for what you have left.

[@yasisoufi]

I still can’t show enough appreciation for the amazing cinematography and sound editing and music. Genius . The script is very good maybe a little loosen on the finale so for me it’s a 9/10. I loved the hidden feminism all over which you don’t see these days they have to rub it into your face! It has lots of respect for the audience intelligence! That’s rare these days!

[@lyndajones1133]

@@yasisoufi how is it hidden exactly ... lol i mean its pretty obvious otherwise would agree

[@JohnCamacho]

I have an idea for a sitcom! Mr & Mrs Martin and their lives in The Oyster (prequel of course). Could be a blast!

[@skybourne6]

This show was slept on. Then again HBO had it scheduled on Mondays

[@kentuckydeluxe1198]

I would argue that something supernatural was going on because Sam saw a painting of himself in the church (might have been stained glass) where he has knives and is all bloody. He then fulfilled this when he stabbed up Jason. Also those swarms of crickets didn't seem natural at all.

[@sabrinafairchild1058]

I know. What was that???

[@lagtvfan2128]

We can't trust Sam's POV. This could have been his imagination and then fulfilling his own prophecy. As to the crickets, they were shown to be hitting the camera. So I suppose that we have to trust that this was part of the immersive tv experience the authors wanted to create, almost crossing the fourth wall, but not quite. I don't know if that makes them more likely or less likely to be real or supernatural.

[@nunnaurbiznez8815]

I'm sorry but that second but literally makes no sense. I can assure you that a man with no children wrote that concept because no actual mom of two young girls would be dragging her children on a search for that deadbeat. Then keeping the search up in weirdo land? Please... No wonder there was no further story. It was stupid.

[@8pool449]

There are layers within layers for me here. Summer was a view of the island from the believers’ perspective, Autumn showed us more detail of what their beliefs entail. Winter was the view of the non- believers, who see nothing but cult, madness and delusion. It certainly doesn’t resolve on which is right- believer or non-believer. One important aspect is that the founder turned out to be Jack the Ripper and this is the darkness they keep referring to. There are many elements of pagan religions here- Mother vs Father, parents vs children, light vs dark, madness, sacrifice, redemption. All of which effectively need to be held in balance. My guess would be that Jess is actually Sam’s sister- it’s the only bit of the old stories that’s not present here. We have never received an explanation around why her husband was controlling her- we know that was true from the phone call she had in Autumn and her daughters hold a high position on the island (they were basically sitting on thrones in the marquee)- they have got to be of the blood & my guess is it’s through Jess (it could be her husband though, sometimes sister-in-law is no different to sister in these stories). We end here with Jess ruling as the false queen and most likely her child destined to kill her Father. The fact that Helen dragged the boat (which was one of their pagan stations of the cross) and effectively also undertook the trials would make her the real Mother. She should dethrone Jess, but wants no part of it, the other one who could do that is Ellie of course. It will be interesting to see if they revisit this. I loved the duality of it all and I genuinely found it to be compelling- I watched the whole of Autumn live, sitting in my pyjamas (someone really should have taught Jude Law how to use a shovel though, the poor bugger must have been in agony). It owes more than a nod to David Lynch of course, but I love his stuff too!

[@Francisco_Manos]

Wasn't there allusions to the Mother as Stone and the Father as Salt?

[@8pool449]

@@Francisco_Manos I missed that myself, but I’m sure you’re right- would make a lot of sense

[@jakesavage1680]

Great show and excellent performances by all, however, I don't mind slow burns if they are going to end in an intense bonfire, sadly this was not the case, ended more with a whimper than a big bang!!

[@ravenwyld]

All I could think when the sun was rising is that the causeway will be open and the villagers could be coming 😳

[@heavyspoilers]

Such a good concept to have the causeway there, loved how Helen just broke through it at the end and made the swim herself

[@bettybt8693]

I felt like all of that episodes 1-5 such a build up and then thats it at the end. Wish it was just more to it. So much happened and then nothing at the end. Think I wasted my time watching this.

[@christoguichard4311]

About 6 years ago I spent one night only, on Osea Island, on the River Blackwater, in Essex, England....☠️ It was a very weird experience. Many movies and films have been filmed on the island, and it also has a recording studio. It is a private island owned by the hairdresser John Freida's brother, and is accessed only by a long causeway, built by the Romans, which is underwater for most of the tide, only revealing itself twice daily at lowest tide. At one time, it was a "detox" retreat for the rich and famous. Once you are on the island, and the tide comes in, you're stuck there until the next low tide. My ex girlfriend had booked a 3-night stay on the island as a birthday treat, because the islands of Essex have always fascinated me, and I've made it a bit of a "mission" to try and get on as many of them as I can. But...it was REALLY expensive. As much as a week's stay in a nice hotel in Spain or Greece. But anyhoo... The drive over the causeway was a little unsettling. It seemed to go on forever, and to be stuck out there in a sea of mud, knowing that the tide can come over you at any minute is a bit un-nerving. When we finally got there, the whole organization of the place seemed very half-arsed and scruffy. I got the impression that it was just a sort of rich boys "playground" for wealthy scruffbags from West London called "Will"...and..."Hugo". You know the types. Theres quite a few buildings on the island, and the first one they offered us was a dump. So we moaned, and they moved us into a larger, detached, house, all by ourselves. But it was still dirty and very scruffy. We spent the day walking around the edge of the island, but didn't really sleep that well that night. Something felt very "off" about the place. My ex was a bit of a witchypoo type, and she said that she got a very un-nerving feeling about the island. Like something terrible had happened on there in the past, and might still be going on? It really had that "Wicca Man" feeling about the place. Also...you feel very isolated out there, with no way off. So the next day...we left. Quickly. 👻 Weirdly also, on our walk around the edge of the island we sighted what was something like a BIG CAT. Black ..as big as a large dog, and running through the undergrowth on the wild extreme western side of the island. 🥴

[@ringkite]

thank you for saving my time, much appreciated!

[@krgkrg1]

Excellent review again. I thoroughly enjoyed the series and especially Sam’s trials in the extraordinary 12 hour event, but was left feeling slightly let down. I love how the two sections differed in style to reflect Sam’s delusions and Helen’s realism. The performances were excellent, best I’ve ever seen Jude Law. I’ll really miss it but also doubt there will be a sequel.

[@heavyspoilers]

Cheers

[@crieverytim]

Sam's trials in the 12hr event?

[@ROCKDEES1]

What did it mean when Jude Law said the darkness is here? After killing some opposition and taking his place in the island? I didn't understand that, wasn't it his rightful place to lead and why would he bring darkness if they knew he would bring balance? Confused.

[@EgbertWilliams]

Why does Sam call Helen "Cass" several times? Is this just an unexplained other name she goes by or is there something more to it? Since it was so pronounced and repeated, I'm a little surprised it was never explained or even hinted at.

[@8pool449]

Yeah- I spotted that too, plus at the end, she was hugging her son’s T shirt at first, then it was the bag of money. This series does keep you guessing on what’s real!

[@EgbertWilliams]

@@8pool449 I think the bag being the son's shirt was just her delirium/exhaustion/wish fulfillment, but they never clarify the name. UNLESS they talked about it in that 12-hour livestream.

[@8pool449]

@@EgbertWilliams No, I watched the livestream for the whole 12 hours & they never did. I don’t think it was delirium though, they seemed to blur reality a lot, people’s faces changed throughout the acid trip scene in Episode 2, I don’t think you’re really meant to know what’s real and what isn’t. I think during Summer we were meant to be believers and we’re meant to be sceptics for Winter. It’s some really clever storytelling, keeps you guessing the whole time. I’m a big David Lynch fan & this reminded me so much of him.

I have to say that I enjoyed your video more than the show itself. I wanted to like it.

Thank you

[@kassandrakid9440]

I like this series but there are lots of holes. It was a big project and I think they bit off a bit more than they could chew for such a short series. The entire series is based off of or from the POV of his “episodic psychosis” and the brainwashing that goes on on the island but there was only one scene that actually solidified this near the end of the finale. Ellies full submission to Jess and the island was not earned. She had shown serious reluctance when Jess’s creepy daughter asked her if she wanted to see that secret temple. I don’t buy that they could’ve convinced her that her mother was “made of stone“ in that short of time. The biggest thing that didn’t make sense: no way in hell would Helen have survived that swim.

[@crieverytim]

Hah, she definitely would have died but that's hardly the biggest nonsensical thing in this series!

[@samanasif6042]

i like your review, thanks! i found the series extremely disturbing to watch, i was constantly worried for jude law in the first part and for his family in the second, they really kept the tension at a high level for me. yes, the ending was surprisingly flat, but rather that, than the opposite!

[@FennessyMusic]

I read somewhere that Osea is heaven (or hell) and that Sam is actually dead throughout and this is his afterlife? Hence why it's always creeplily reffered to as ''paradise..''

[@sabrinafairchild1058]

That actually makes a lot of sense

[@crieverytim]

Well that was an unsatisfying ending. I've seen canceled shows give more closure. I'm unclear on what story they wanted to tell

[@QuirkyShiny]

Thanks for the good summary, I didn't quite finish the first episode, I thought it was a bit heavy with cliche and felt like it might've been written on someone's lunch break. It felt pretty obvious from the get-go that the lady at the Inn was there to seduce Sam, even from his 'accidentally' being sent into her room while she slept etc. I also guessed he'd end up a believer in the cult. I don't think it added much of interest to the genre - although fully respect those who enjoyed it. Just didn't personally hold my attention.

[@crieverytim]

Lovecraft country was another letdown - just a hot mess. This was more a simmering mess! Much more enjoyed this though than the former

[@hfztt]

I liked it. It took some chances and was not a cookie cutter affair, which put in front of pretty much anything else I have seen in 2020. The only thing that drags it a bit down for me is the fact that its made by Dennis Kelly, the genius behind Utopia (UK Ch4 original) and I kinda expected even more from it.

[@pumpkinspicetrashbag]

[@Animebishhh]

[@crieverytim]

Really seemed to get sloppy there at the end. Some of the writing and acting of Helen just didn't translate. Especially the stuff when they do the exposition about her son being murdered. The ominous vibes surrounding Jesse's daughter never really wrapped up. We don't get any resolution with the power struggle between Jess and Sam. Just was gonna hurt the little girls and then Nothing came of it. EllieSeemed like she was called to the island that that would be And issue when it came time to leave but nope, she hopped right in the boat. The boys shirt in the bag of money Thing was weird as well - what were they trying to communicate there? And why didn't Nathan age appropriately? And Y Como when He told his mom he knew she didn't mean it when she said she wish she was never born, did she just turn and leave? Also What the hell was happening in the woods? What happened at the burned down trailer? And why was Emily Watson's exposition about what happened to Nathan inconsistent - is it Nathan or not??

23:17 ! So, I looked up Luke 23:17 in the Bible. This is a controversial verse. It is found in the King James Version of the Bible but is not found in all other versions. Apparently it was added later and isn't in the original texts? Anyhow, Luke 23:17 reads: "It was necessary for him to release (give) one to them at the feast (Passover)." This is after Jesus is arrested and Pontius Pilate asks who to release; Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus Barabas. The crowd chooses to exchange the 2 and free the criminal Barabas. Also, at the 1st Passover, all the Egyptians lost their 1st born sons.... also a bit of a reach........ I then did a search and found a site that had all verses that mentioned 1st born sons. Nothing with the relevant numbers

She was a mess and only showed up for the money. She was a terrible example to their girls. Lie, lie, lie! I skipped over most of the fourth and fifth episodes because, I couldn't stand the monotony of a story I'd already figured out from episode four. I was engrossed with Season one and Jude Law's role. But, the second season is a big nope for me.

[@TangoNevada]

To be fair, Pagan's that "Sacrifice" people are bad. That should be shown in a bad light. But you could also argue Christianity is a Religion based on Human Sacrifice (It was just one guy, but still a sacrifice). People just don't like the hear that.

[@AlMondO93]

@@TangoNevada It depends on what you mean by pagans and what is meant by sacrifice. There is little evidence that northern europeans were sacrificing humans, most accusations come from the Romans who were all about demonizing the other by use of propaganda and lies. This continued after Rome converted to xtianity and the demonisation of pagans stepped up a few gears leading to the mass slaughter of pagans throughout europe for centuries, the massacre of Verden etc. This ultimatley lead to the witch burnings. Again, there is little evidence that northern europeans ever made sacrifice of humans. It seems to be xtian inspired propaganda of the other. Bigotry, no less.

[@TangoNevada]

@@AlMondO93 Nah, it's actually extremely simple. All I said was Pagan's that Sacrifice People are bad. I can't see how that's controversial. I think in context it is extremely clear what I meant by Human Sacrifice. So no confusion there. I'm not accusing anyone of anything. I'm sure there are plenty of Pagan's that don't do or never did that and I have no problem with them all. In fact I am probably more inline with their belief's than anyone else's.
