True Detective, Night Country (Sky Atlantic)
The standalone series that followed the incredible opener (with afore mentioned McConaughey and Woody Harrelson) never quite hit the spot. They didn’t have Jodie Foster in them though. The woman is amazing and an example of somebody who has maintained her youthful essence through the sheer energy she taps. A strong female cast lead the way in this dark and intriguing tale.
The F-Word Miniseries - Gabor Mate on feelings(Spotify).
There is some excellent advice to be had here. It looks at identifying our wounds and navigating their pain and frantic reverb when triggered. An excellent investment of 58 minutes!
Tame Impala – Let it Happen.
For anyone who hasn’t heard of Aussie Kevin Parker (Tame Impala) he’s well worth a listen. Since Tame Impala’s inception, he’s gone on to produce for some major A-listers (who aren’t half as cool as him in my eyes). This man clearly has talent. Enjoy!
Demon Copperhead, Barbara Kingslover.
I devoured this book in 3 days, thanks to audible and the insane traffic in and out of London this week. It’s up there with Where the Crawdads Sing, as one of the most eye opening and touching reads/listens. Harrowing but beautiful and so well written. Loss of innocence is a big trigger for me but the resilience of the protagonist/narrator and the way the content is delivered makes it extremely palatable. An intelligent revisit of the Dickensian tale, David Copperfield, Demon Copperhead illuminates the lives of our many modern-day lost souls. Beautiful.
