    ★★★★

    "Hi, this song's for our mother."

    Siblings Anna (Mina Walker) and Beth (Joan Glackin) reside with Father (Jordan Lage) in a palatial acreage woodsy situation with a nearby small town. Anna is blind and Beth is deaf. The two communicate via a tactile language and seem to be enjoying their woodsy lives.

    "The shame changes nothing but its clothes."

    James Lewis (David Dastmalchian), the eponymous teacher, represses a simmering anger that boils to the surface when two of his English students -- Daniela Lopez (Esme Perez) and Preston Walsh (Matthew Garry) -- become the targets of constant assault orchestrated by another student in his class, Tim Cooper (Curtis Edward Jackson).

    Tim is a star athlete with a rich powerful dad (Kevin Pollak) who basically owns the town, so his torment is generally…

    Shudder Says These are Exclusive

    Parents Juliette and Richard live in a farmhouse with their child Owen. After a community outing, the pastoral curtain lifts.

    This particular parable about a deal with the devil or whatever being in whatever legend gets confusing at points. It's fucking funny while also disturbing and tragic.

    Opaque for sure. Explanatory myth like. Not mad at it. I get it. I'd run away and simultaneously snuggle.

    "Not so easy to get inside you, is it?"
    "My body obeys me.

    A space scifi horror opera that isn't secretive about its narrative while maintaining a complex execution of plot.

    Bisexual in that it's high concept and low concept. Characters are just getting the final touches while still vague when this crucial bit of story is more fully explained. Or rather, confirmed.

    This also gives you that totally overt yet yes that's exactly what you thought was going on…

    Tell Them You Love Me

    ★★★½

    "She was Miss Anna, and she was gonna do great things. She was gonna move mountains. I accepted her at her word."

    When Anna Stubblefield is asked to explain how she and Derrick Johnson met, she prefaces her account of events with the telling caveat: "I'm pretty sure, or at least I'm hopeful, that I haven't been rewriting things in my head." Later, when recounting what Derrick "typed" on the communication machine--the memory of which later became evidence, so the…
