Movies
The Naked Spur. Really liked this western, sort of a moving chamber piece. James Stewart as greedy bounty hunter, Robert Ryan’s sly intellectual villain needling him along, like we later see in 3:10 to Yuma. Protagonist sort of crumbles rather than triumphs into a better state. We hope.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. It doesn’t work for me, but it’s fine. I have no attachment to the TV show, so I’m not the audience anyway. At least I know what a toff is now.
TV
The X-Files, s6e3 “Triangle“. The will-they-or-won’t-they has been answered… sort of.
Hannibal, s3e3–4. Everyone using each other to sharpen their motivations.
DuckTales (1987), s1e1. “Uhhhh yes and no, Uncle Donald”.
