If The Master hit the spot, these will too
Looking for the series itself? Also in this series: The Master and Margarita (2024)

One thread runs through both: sexual obsession
The difference: Trades the dread of The Master for an angle of its own

The same hand behind both of them: Paul Thomas Anderson
The difference: Easier on the dread than The Master

The same preoccupation in both: sexual obsession
The difference: Leans harder into thriller than The Master does

The same mix in both: stillness, then obsession

Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases


Both lean on stillness more than on drama
The difference: Made in the 1930s, in a different era of the craft

Both work the same obsession
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Drama approached the same way

Drama of the same temperament

Cut from the same drama cloth

Both know what they want from drama
