I am LOSING MY MIND with excitement.

[echojulietfoxtrot]

I'm only going to be ranting about Deadloch for one more week - sorry and bear with me - but holy shit how smart this show is. I felt so pleased with myself for thinking I'd seen a big twist coming, and all along it was double bluffing me like a sucker, letting me think I was so damn clever while it ran rings round me.

Even cooler is how gradually it's led me from the kooky crackpot smalltown whodunnit I signed up for, with just a dash of gallows humor, to the stark, angry story of the many faces and tendrils of misogyny it was all along.

Don't get me wrong, there's still plenty of humor and fun to stop it slipping into indigestible grimdark, but stuff like the interrogation scenes this week were not remotely fucking around, and all the moving parts that started finally fitting together and closing in around Dulcie & co felt like watching a huge, dangerous Rube Goldberg machine made of sexism start moving slowly and surely down the final track towards a bunch of neatly stacked dynamite.

And maybe I'm naïve, too, but I'm just the right level of thrilled about all the tension and drama, without really being worried the conclusion is going to leave me feeling shitty or cheated or purely bummed out, because it's so smartly dodged or subverted so many pitfalls to get here already.

All this from the writers of a 15 minute Youtube comedy cooking spoof???

I mean don't get me wrong, I loved it - Katering Show is fantastic - but this is an absolutely insane glow up, on par with Charlie Brooker moving from mean little spoof tv guide listings to San Junipero.

For God's sake, do not sleep on this show, and if you can catch up the 7 eps in time to speculate on the finale, even better.

Thoughts on Deadloch (major spoilers ahead!!!)

it fits so well with ray’s character that he was attracted to eddie. she’s incredibly smart, loud, unapologetic, crass … she goes against literally anything the patriarchy says a woman should be, so i imagine he thought that she’s the “ideal” woman.

he was showing the women of the town what he’d done “for them” — revealing bodies at specific times, giving them the victims tongues, etc — to show what an “ally” he is. phil mcgangus is practically the living embodiment of toxic masculinity and patriarchy in the show, and so ray “sent” him to eddie without killing him. he could’ve sent just his tongue, but that would’ve been too anonymous and would’ve taken too long to figure out who’s it was.

he needed to do something Big, something that he thought in his screwed up head would show how much he apparently “cares” for eddie. he needed her to know that it was phil specifically that he had maimed for her. he couldn’t outright kill him and wait for them to find him like the other victims due to the circumstances they all found themselves in (the bus, the commissioner and his goons swarming the town), so he adapted.

not only that, but i think he wanted them to know that the others were still alive, but likely not for long. he didn’t even seem surprised that dulcie, eddie, and abby had found them. he almost seemed excited, but that also could’ve been a touch of mania he was clearly showing throughout the scene. i think he was almost proud of her for figuring it out and finding them, and so thought they were compatible with how smart they both are, hence him planning out their future together.

but, of course, like a lot of self-proclaimed male “allies,” he completely missed the mark on what being an ally means. besides being a serial killer and having a sick and twisted mind, he harbors the idea that “women are strong, but are so victimized by the patriarchy that they need a male ally to pave the way for them!”

we watch him quickly devolve in the last conversation with eddie. the same fiery attitude he likes in her backfires on him while he tries to convince her that he was right to do what he’s done, that it was his duty as an ally. he keeps trying to throw things he knows worked in the past with her — the lights from the glow worms (reminiscent of the aurora australis), a promise of reinventing themselves elsewhere — and when it doesn’t work, he uses the one weakness he knows she has against her. when that finally works and she hesitates, he immediately regresses back to violence, disarming and attempting to kill her.

My Lesbian WhatsApp Group Attempts To Figure Out The Deadloch Killer(s), 2023.

[blackramhall]

What's our vibe in there? We need to firm up our interview strategy, our flavour. Do we good cop/bad cop her? What about the old reach-around? That always worked for me up in Darwin. So you take the front bum, I take the back bum... Bit of a verbal double-P... We get her with a phone book...

Here are some companies that strongly support Israel (but are not Boycott targets). There is no ethical consumption under capitalism and boycotting is a political strategy - not a moral one. If you did try to boycott every supporter of Israel you would struggle to survive because every major company supports Israel (as a result of attempting to keep the US economy afloat), that being said, the ones that are being boycotted by masses and not already on the organic boycott list are coloured red.

I fucking love this show! Knew I would, based on my love of The Katering Show, but I wasn’t expecting to love it this much. The mystery drags you in, then they trickle scenes in like this that has me chuckling away all episode. Perfection. Go and watch now!
