This is a very good show. It's a comedy-drama about some
weird artist people in a small Texas town. Based on a book,
the show is about a middle-aged married couple who are
falling apart. The wife, Chris (Kathryn Hahn) has been
making films, and the husband Sylvere (Griffin Dunne) is a
writer. They journey to Marfa, Texas, so that Sylvere can
join the artists' gathering of this artist named Dick (Kevin
Bacon). The show is told largely from Chris point of
view as a feminist artist. It has many funny but also moving
scenes.
I wasn't sure if I would like it at first,
but it's very compelling. The characters are very
real, even though they do surprise you a lot in how they
act. They're all very messed-up people. After
experiencing a huge disappointment with her latest film,
Chris develops an obsession with Dick, which she turns into
her art. She and her husband also use this to spice up
their sex life. There's a lot of sex in this show, but it
does serve a purpose. A lot of the show is about female
sexual expression.
If you're an adult, you will want
to check this out. It's only 8 half hour episodes, but it's
really worth watching. Make sure the kids aren't around when
you watch it. I look forward to season 2.
They also
play many wonderful songs, mostly sung by women.
