If The Celebration hit the spot, these will too

Common ground in both: child abuse and parents and children

The same preoccupation in both: suicide
The difference: Sits closer to crime than The Celebration does

One thread runs through both: depression
The difference: Trades the grit of The Celebration for an angle of its own

Both keep coming back to the same thing: parents and children

The same mix in both: stillness, then melancholy

Contemplative drama, and it commits to that

Gritty drama in both cases
The difference: 31 years apart, and the 1960s show

Drama with a pulse of melancholy, in both cases


Both are built on the same subject: daughter

Both work the same stillness

Both keep coming back to the same thing: infidelity
