CONNOR’S WEDDING

‘A call like that never fully graduates to existing solely in your rear view mirror.

Landscapers and Lucy Dacus

Landscapers The whole is less than the sum of its parts. Or something like that, which is the feeling I took away after recently finishing the HBO’s limited series Landscapers. The true crime series stars Olivia Colman (Fleabag, The Crown) and David Thewlis (Harry Potter franchise) as Susan and Christopher Edwards; spouses convicted of the […]

NO SUDDEN MOVE & SIX FEET UNDER
