If The Father hit the spot, these will too

The same two preoccupations: alzheimer's disease, and memory loss

Contemplative and cerebral in the same breath
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Drama built on stillness, twice over
The difference: Leans harder into science fiction than The Father does

Cerebral drama in both cases

Cerebral drama, and it commits to that
The difference: Trades the stillness of The Father for an angle of its own

A streak of stillness through both


Both know what they want from drama
The difference: 36 years apart, and the 1980s show

Cut from the same drama cloth

Both working the same drama territory

Both are drama through and through

The same drama instincts
In the mood for more contemplative?
