Returns for Season 2 late this month. Remarkably solid in its first year and a bit of a sleeper at first. Excellent lead work from the young and old versions of the women; Melanie Lynskey, Juliette Lewis, Tawny Cypress and Christina Ricci along with Sophie Nélisse, Sophie Thatcher, Jasmin Savoy Brown and Sammi Hanratty.

I'm very glad the showrunners are being very explicit about only letting the show run five years tops. I don't know how much the dual story can sustain, but I am very excited to see the winter months of 1996-97 unfold. I think the timeline shown in the first season only ran from summer (somewhere around May-July) to October or November.

For those of you who haven't seen it, the (apparently un-embeddable) Season 1 trailer is here. The first teaser for S2 is below.

 

 

OMG. They HAVE to have a soundtrack to this series as I'm impressed. I'm watching Season 1 and it's all over the place, but in a good way. I'll probably have to watch episodes again, but it's really good. Great cast. And I love shows that are shot in the forest with all the majestic trees. And now, this makes me want to watch Twin Peaks all over again, lol!

I love the music too. It's been so long since S1. I'm going to have rewatch. To refresh my memory. 

This deepfaked MTV News report on the crash is impressive.

I knew something was off with the theme song this week and I knew I knew that voice. I guessed it before the theme ended but sure enough, it's Alanis fuckin' Morissette!

 

OMG. I love Alanis!
