Love all the highs and lows
This has to be one of the great netflix series at the moment that will hopefully be loved by all for a long time.

I live the fact that it is a close up look into grief, something that can sometimes be overlooked or over dramatised in modern stories.

Each episode is a whirlwind of emotions. The highs and low juxtaposition one another so well, making each one seem better/worse than it would if they weren't coupled.

Some excellent characters that work really well together and create the highs/loss throughout.

Joe Wilkinson is something else, absolute dynamite of a man.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and Dundurn Press

This book was a delight! I wasn't expecting to fall in love with it as much as I did because usually, I'm not the biggest fan of literary fiction but this broke my heart. A touching story about loss, dealing with grief and also touches deeply on mental health and the importance of relationship and communication. I loved how this story unfolded and how we only ever knew Elias through the eyes of Coen adding to the mystery. The ending was not what I expected but I loved it. There is so much heart in this book and I definitely recommend it!

"This is a visceral tale of an artist (Max von Sydow) whose mind begins to unravel as he’s plagued by insomnia and macabre visions of demons. His pregnant wife (Liv Ullman) is so concerned by this that she begins to stay awake with him night after night as he tries to process his grief. This is clearly a very personal work for Bergman, who admirably attempts to grasp and explore an existential issue for all artists. The pursuit of knowledge or truth or clarity or enlightenment—whether by means of artistic expression, religious belief, or science—has the capacity to rend an individual’s personality to shreds. As the saying goes, there’s a fine line between genius and madness."

Incredible
It's not very often I binge watch a show but from the moment I saw the trailer for this, I just had to watch it all.
It's kind of difficult to explain the show outside of what is hinted at in the trailer - Alma is seeing visions of her dead father, who is now teaching her how to time travel so that she can go back and try to prevent his death!! It's a trippy, sci-fi drama dealing with grief, trauma and mental illness, beautifully told using a rotoscoped animation style and featuring a great cast including Rosa Salazar and Bob Odenkirk. I absolutely loved it and really hope we get another season.
