So, next time the BBC drops a trailer for something based on a cult novel, do not scroll past. Give it a shot even if it looks a little… strange. That strangeness is the point. It’s a promise that beneath the elegant dialogue and the period-perfect sets, there’s a twisted little heart beating.
It’s the best of both worlds: the comfort of a familiar historical setting, and the jolt of a story that refuses to behave. Who wouldn’t want to get lost in that messy, beautiful, and wonderfully weird world? Grab your tea, get your cozy blanket, and prepare for a ride that’s equal parts familiar and completely bonkers.
Trust the weird. It’s always more interesting.
