It's also a master class in photography, acting, character development, and the sets/props/world building was surgically on point in terms of period accuracy, which in and of itself is a stunning accomplishment and totally fucks.


And that soundtrack fucks like a motherfucker.


But Sidewinder is right; its the king of a small genre kingdom. Which makes it even more impressive to me that it came together in an industry where no one really takes chances anymore.
Les Revenants makes this show look like it was run over by a bus but the thief Winona slays me errytime.

Not quite the same, but see also see the film Caché for some some creepy goodness with kids in it.
