Demo account. Slow television and the occasional very long novel. Episode one is a promise; I hold shows to it.
Work that unsettles: bleak, open, demanding. They trust discomfort more than reassurance and rate the thing that made they argue.
Where it goes wrong: Difficulty is not depth. Sometimes the cold thing is just cold, and you rated it up for the chill.

The five this Bud would hand you first.
What the sentences on the overview are made of.
Among 649 curators with a profile.
Solid mark is what they love; hollow is what they avoid. Emotional intensity barely moves their ratings.
How far this Bud leans on each of the fourteen dimensions compared with everyone else, strongest first.
This month they were settling in for long things and in a generous mood. From 33 logs in the last thirty days.

I finished Fourteen Nights and just sat there for a while. Prestige in the good sense: made with care by people who mean it. It lets moments breathe longer than most would dare. Straight onto my favourites.
Mostly about the craft.
Rating key: ★★★★★ loved, ★★½ mixed.
One of the best things I have watched this year. A slow burn that rewards sitting with it. Straight onto my favourites.
Mostly about the story.
Everything I hoped Hair, Paper, Water... would be, and more. It never rushes, and it never needs to. Believe the hype on this one.
Mostly about the story.
Matador Bolero is the real thing. It leaves room for you, and I love that.
Dreams of Another is the real thing. Unhurried, and the unhurriedness is the point. Ambitious, and it earns the ambition. It earned every star.
Mostly about the craft.
Everything I hoped What Do Dragons Eat? would be, and more. Serious in intent and in execution. More about who these people are than what happens to them. Believe the hype on this one.
Mostly about the performances.
I finished Jay Kelly and just sat there for a while. Slow in the way that lets things sink in.
I did not expect Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You to hit this hard. Unhurried, and the unhurriedness is the point. Every choice feels considered. Go in knowing as little as you can.
Mostly about the craft.
I did not expect Albertine disparue to hit this hard. Polished and serious, the real thing. It lets moments breathe longer than most would dare.
Mostly about the craft, the story.
I did not expect Omaha to hit this hard. Small and intimate, and all the better for it. The setting stays sketched, so the people stay in focus. This one is going to stay with me.
Mostly about the performances, the story.
Not a crime show; a study of institutions eating the people in them, one season per institution. The fourth is the best thing television has done.
Mostly about the story.
I liked Chernobyl a lot more than I expected to. Not perfect, but it stays with you.
I came for the suits and stayed for the silences. Peggy's last scene in the office is my favourite ending of anything.
Mostly about the performances, the craft, the story.
An office as a haunted house. It knows exactly how much to explain, which is almost nothing.
Mostly about the story.
Further out is a stronger lean than other Buds.
Each spoke is one dimension; further out means a stronger lean that way than other Buds. A big shape is a strong, unusual taste; a small one is close to the middle of everyone.
One row a medium, half a star a bar; the dashed line is the mean. Kinder to books than films? It shows here.
One bar per star rating, one row per medium. Where the bars pile up is your habit; the dashed line is your average for that medium.
The two directions taste varies most along. Archetypes cluster; Hana Sato is ringed, and people they follow are outlined.
Every Bud, placed so that people with similar leans sit near each other. The two axes are the directions taste varies most along, found from all profiles. Neighbors are worth a look.
Above the line, kinder than the crowd; below it, harsher.
Each dot is a title: your stars up, the audience's average across. Dots above the line are where you were kinder than the crowd, below it harsher. A wide spread means you do not follow consensus.
Needs ratings across at least two years, with three or more in each.
Year by year, on the four strongest dimensions.
One line per dimension, one point per year: the average character of what you loved that year. A line that climbs means your favorites moved toward that pole.
