But good grief this is overripe. We're what four shows in and don't know a whole lot more than after the first one. I think it's a well done show but give us a plot point or two or at least one reveal. There was more in Ripe than before but not much more than could have been deduced and even tonight we don't know for sure what happened; will have to wait till next week.

and Adorra is getting truly weird. I smell an Emmy for Patricia Clarkson.

there are lots of slowly evolving series nowadays. At least they aren’t taking a 2 hour story and turning it into 8 hours to sell crappy stuff.

It reminds me of first True Detective that took forever to get to the meat, but I missed it as soon as it was over.

I do like the characters in this one.

I also like the characters. I got to see Amy Adams in person at a film festival. Her skin is porcelain. Just otherworldly beautiful.
