The Kettering Incident on Amazon Prime - indescribably, and pretty damn fun and addictive!

Anyone else here delve into its wonderful weirdness?

If not - and you like murder mysteries - and beautiful scenery - and odd characters - and confusing twists and turns - give it a try!

I know it is 3am in the morning and I have watched the whole first season.

I just did that with Happy Valley, British mystery series.

4. Yes I will watch it... what do you mean "leftoverish"?

Not prime time TV?

Yes I was so bummed when I finished Happy Valley.

5. A bit like the series The Leftovers (which we love - awaiting season 3 on DVD via Netflix)

in that there is a touch of existential, not all things are answered or resolved in it.

Fargo (the TV series) is another one that blew us away - just finished season 3.

I will add it to my queue.
Sounds like I would like it.

I have seen the advertisements for the Fargo series, but not seen it.
Will add it to my list too.
Loved, loved, loved Fargo the movie.

7. Fargo, the three TV series, to me is better than the movie - which is great

The extra time allows for incredible character development and tension build ups.

The Leftovers is simply impossible to describe. First two seasons were ....bizarre, and delicious!

8. Hard to imagine anything better than the movie.

But that is what people are saying about Fargo, the series.
The Leftovers looks like it is DVD purchase only?
Or can I watch it online?

Edited to add, I am looking forward to the Kettering Incident.
I love mysteries, beautiful scenery, odd characters and twists and turns.

9. It sounds as though they are trying to emulate "Picnic at Hanging Rock"

Which is an amazingly eerie movie. It's taken from a much admired book, but I've never read the book.



The extraordinary story behind Picnic at Hanging Rock

On the 50th anniversary of artist and novelist Joan Lindsay’s Picnic at Hanging Rock, Janelle McCulloch tells the story of its author, its genesis and the remarkable film that followed.

Tried to watch the first season and it just made no sense to me. So I can't use it as a comparison.

the rogue cop. I must have missed why she is sleeping with him and how that developed.
I remember they almost slept together in another episode, but she got a bloody nose
and it didn't go any where. ???

Great show...
