You want to watch something that will mess with your head? This is it. While not being overtly scary this show will leave you wondering about the people you see and what their identity really is.
Probably the most important takeaway from this show is the idea that you should know when to walk away…although this is easier said than done.
The show covers the life of a divorced single mother who has an encounter in a pub with a stranger. Is it by chance or is it her fate. Then it takes you through a relationship that tests both her and her best friend with questions about loyalty truth, desire and friendship.
What is it that drives people to cheat on those they love and what kind of emotions are at play when they do? Our character seems to have great intentions but as they say the Road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
There is an exploration about poerty and dreams and trauma. Questions about the relationship between those who need counseling and those who provide that service. There are questions about medication as well as explorations on the subject of being (both Soul and Spirit). There are hints on the subject of spirit travel and ‘soul exchange’.
Simona Brown is a delight to watch as she navigates a complex space. Her smile and large eyes make her almost seem childish. Eva Hewson comes accross as pensive and calculating as well as vulnerable. THe most troubling part for me is the endless back and forth between her and her husband where she asks him a question which he never seems to answer.
I also like the idea behind doors as portals to new worlds.
