 On Netflix




Two (imho) terrific shows I've recently binged within a short period of time are Don't Come Home and The Last Night at Tremore Beach.

I would call both limited series mind-bending, a quality I often seek out, especially in Netflix shows.

Of the two, Don't Come Home is a bit more succinct and more obviously eerie, with a jaw-dropping ending and echoes of the also terrific Haunting of Hill House. But The Last Night at Tremore Beach, far more of a slow burn, will deplete your soul and is so beautiful, both visually and emotionally.

I am absolutely fascinated by Javier Rey's gut-wrenching performance as Alex. Without him, I think the series wouldn't be as effective as it is.
