What I'm Watching: BBC's "Requiem"

BBC's new drama Requiem is super, super-creepy in all the best possible ways — as much a family drama about long-buried secrets as it is a supernatural mystery about a missing girl.

It’s Alice in Wonderland by way of Lars von Trier’s Kingdom: through the looking glass and down the rabbit hole. Unnerving and elementally eerie — definitely deserving of a second season. (There's a real sense of beautiful, lovingly crafted homage to both here, esp. Alice — Matilda's hair and blue coat, the looking glass(es), the rabbit hole, the little door. ) To creator Kris Mrksa, I say: nod wedi'i gyflawni.

Fortunately for American viewers, it's heading to Netflix in a few weeks...
