Mute - Cyberpunk Sound and Fury, and Light

Just saw Mute on Netflix, latest movie from director Duncan Jones, of Source Code fame, and starring mainly Alexander Skarsgård (True Blood, and Big Little Lies) with supporting acting by Paul Rudd and Justin Theroux. Wikipedia reports that Mute "drew unfavorable comparisons" to Bladerunner, but that's just dumb (the comparisons not the report), since there are no androids that I know of in Mute.  There are all kinds of cybernetic body enhancements and replacements going on - like in The Six Million Dollar Man - and the flavor is definitely LA cyberpunk, even though the action takes places in a future Germany.

Germany is no accident in Mute.  The hero, Leo, is Amish, and he's mute because his Amish mother didn't allow surgery on her son when his neck was injured in some kind of boating accident, or in some accident in the water.   (By the way, although I suppose a given Amish bishop could tell his followers not to accept modern medical care, that's not something that most Amish do.  It's a common misconception that the Amish say no to all technology, when in fact they carefully pick and choose - see my The Amish Get Wired - Wired? published in Wired way back in 1993 for more.)

But back to Mute, Leo's Amish heritage is a good touch, because it helps him fit into this brave new world in Germany (Amish are of German descent).  The movie is superb on detail in this future, including Leo not being able to order food - which could be delivered to his dwelling, when he gets home, via droid - because he's mute, and the ordering app can't respond to anything other than voice.  And the violence, though sometimes a little hard to take, makes some logical sense in this future, in which most body parts are as replaceable as the parts of your car.

The plot is a little obvious and slow at first, but tightens up with a strong wave of well-motivated developments at the end, and a dedication to Jones's father David Bowie and his childhood nanny Marion Skene.  Recommended for fans of Bladerunner, The Six-Million Dollar Man, and Banshee - and, hey, you can see it for free on Netflix if you're a subscriber.

Sneaky Pete Season 2: Excellent, Beats the First, Slightly

I slow-binge watched Sneaky Pete Season 2 on Amazon Prime the past two weeks - mainly because a a great trip to Grand Rapids Community College in Michigan to talk about fake news intervened - and I've gotta say this second season is a little better than the first.  High praise, given that I thought the first was outstanding, an unusual and appealing mix of con-art crime, fast-paced peril, and laugh-out humor bubbling under the surface.

The second season improves on this, slightly, by introducing at least one important new character, and placing "Pete" really Marius in situations in which his real identity is almost revealed and then ... Well, I don't want to give too much away.  But if you'd rather know nothing about about either season, don't read it on.

If you do, or don't care, here's the necessary background for the second season: Marius is released from prison.  He assumes the identity of his cellmate, Pete, who has talked his head off in prison - or enough for Marius, a past master of a conman, to go to Pete's family farm and impersonate Pete to Pete's family.  (He's been gone a long time, and they look somewhat similar, and some in the family sort of realize that something's not right but can't put it all together.)

In the second season, the real Pete is released from prison and comes back to see/reunite with his family.And the real Pete's mother reappears - she's a kind of con-woman, too.  (I'd say this a slightly unlikely coincidence, but the narrative's otherwise so good, I don't really mind it.)

Marius, being the genius at his work that he is, and also the recipient of lots of good luck - hey, some people do have good luck - manages to navigate through most of this unscathed, while pursuing his goal from the first season of using his new family connection to pull off some huge score.  But he also has to steer clear and outwit an East European crimes boss who's reminiscent of the East European crime boss from Banshee, if you can relate to that reference.

What really puts Season 2 over the top, though, are the genuine surprises and twists upon twists as the story develops.  If you're a fan of this genre - and who without a pulse isn't - you'll love this.

(Great acting, by the way, by Giovanni Ribisi and everyone else, just like the first time.)

Ray Donovan 5.1: Big Change

Ray Donovan 5.1 debuted with a huge change tonight (and I wouldn't read any further if you're allergic to spoilers).

Well, you can read a little further - but just this paragraph.  There are two possible causes of what happened - the big change.  And, for all we know, neither is the reason.

[spoilers ahead]

Abby's gone - as in, deceased.  Presumably her cancer got her, after all.  But, why, then, did we see the car accident, and Abby with a bump on her head right after?   And, since this is just the first episode of what promises to be an explosively pathbreaking season, Abby may have died or been killed for reasons we don't yet even know.

Who was the scantily clad woman who caused Ray to serve off the road? The credits listed Lili Simmons, and that makes sense - that backside looked familiar, seen many times on Banshee.

Other than all of this, there was at least one surprise with presumably good consequences in this Season 7 start: Terry had a pacemaker put in to control his Parkinson's.  I didn't know that was possible, and I'm glad for Terry and the show - he will be an even more powerful character, this way.

You have to give Ray Donovan the series credit for taking a risk like this.  Abby was in many ways the spiritual centerpiece of this family and therefore the show.  She was someone managed to keep it and Ray together.   Without her, everyone will need to find new bearings, because there's only so much you can get from a memory.

Looking forward to more.

Sneaky Pete: True Win

Graham Yost, one of the main creative forces shaping Amazon's Sneaky Pete, was and is also executive producer of two other superb series, The Americans and Justify. But Sneaky Pete has the most in common, and is almost a kind of mirror image, of another pathbreaking series created by another GY - Greg Yaitanes - Banshee.

Both tell the story of an ex-con who adopts someone else's identity, needs to fool a lot of people, and must match wits with a vicious, highly intelligent, racketeering villain who holds forth from New York City.  Both must deal with expected and unexpected near revelations of their true identity, and cleverly fend them off.   Sneaky Pete is a little lighter than the unremittingly brutal Banshee, but Sneaky Pete has plenty of dark and violent moments, too.

Unlike "Lucas Hood" in Banshee, however,  Marius Josipovic is not only conning the world about being "Pete," but running cons in everything he does.   These cons start and end the season, and give Sneaky Pete something crucially in common with other great con narratives on the big screen, ranging from the The Sting (mentioned in Sneaky Pete) to Ocean's 11.

And speaking of Ocean's 11 (and Ocean's Eleven), Sneaky Pete has an impressive array of star power, with Giovanni Ribisi in the lead role, Bryan Cranston as the arch villain, and Peter Gerety, Margo Martindale, and even Ben Vereen and Malcolm-Jamal Warner in supporting parts.  All do memorable jobs.  Not as well-known Marin Ireland, Shane McRae, and Libe Barer also put in good performances.

As was the case with Banshee, credibility is strained by the extent to which the imposter can get away with it for so long.  And Sneaky Pete has the problem of needing to fool the real Pete's grandparents and cousins - wouldn't they realize something was different in his eyes, which would be pretty much the same for someone in his thirties, not seen since he was a boy at least 11+ years old?  "Lucas Hood" in Banshee didn't have to confront anyone in the real Hood family, except his son, who realized the deception immediately.

But it's easy enough to suspend your disbelief in Sneaky Pete.  The action is quick, the surprises jolting, and the series clocks in as another true win for streaming television.

Westworld 1.8: Memories

Much revealed in this excellent episode 1.8 of Westworld.

Probably the most important:  there are two kinds of programs afoot in Westworld, two kinds of stories (or two kinds of kinds of stories, to be more precise):  Ford's and Arnold's.  Ford's we pretty much know - though not the new story he keeps talking about - and Arnold's not much or any of it at all.

We learn from Ford that Arnold went crazy-mad over the paradox of programming beings that were sentient, yet in a way that keep them subject to programmer orders (the civil rights of robots, as I discussed in earlier reviews, and spelled out a little of in this paper).

So presumably in the minds of our major hosts, we have a war between these two types of programs - a war in each mind - which gives us a better but still not completely clear idea of the bicameral mind (ala Julian Jaynes) that we heard about some episodes back.

Whatever is actually going in each of these host's minds, we now know this:  none of them can keep those deep memories totally submerged, however much Ford or Bernard may order them to do - or just move the memories down to the bottom of the little tablet screen.  For Bernard, who we now know is a host, these unerasable memories include at least two murders of human beings, the second we saw last week, the first who knows when, presumably both at Ford's command, though we can't be sure about the first.   For Maeve, it's the awful memory of the killing of her daughter by the Man in Black (for more about, see below).  For Dolores, it's the memory of some kind of carnage in the town. Teddy may be having some of this double memory, too.

Significantly, Bernard can kill humans (presumably only at Ford's command, but who knows), and Maeve, even more profoundly, can kill in her own self protection - that, by the way, being a defining characteristic of life.  Teddy definitely can not - at least, not the Man in the Black.

Which is the other big revelation: the Man in Black tells Teddy his back story, and his life as a human tycoon (hmm....).  This sounds pretty convincing.  But earlier, Ford was even more convincing about humans and androids actually being pretty similar, in that both live in stories that are constructed (presumably the main difference being that we humans construct most of our own stories.)  Yet, I was just watching The Crown on Netflix, and struck by how much the royals are hostages to the stories they are obliged to follow.   But back to Westworld: is the Man in Black just telling Teddy a story written by a programmer, or the true story of his human life?

Ford, again, says there's not all that much difference.  My guess is the MIB is a human - but maybe it doesn't matter as much as we may think - maybe that's the message.  I do know this series is a masterpiece already - a triumph of story telling (I guess a third kind of story) - and it's good wasn't it to see Banshee's Lili Simmons back on the screen!

Banshee: Ends

Well, after I complained about last week's next-to-last episode of Banshee, Andy Page of Dark UFO told me that tonight's finale, which he had been lucky enough to see, was "very satisfying".  I'm glad to concur.   Most of it was about as good as it gets - as good as it gets for Banshee, which, being in some ways one of best shows ever to have been on television, is very good indeed.

My problem with last week's episode was the trite serial killer with horns being Rebecca's killer.  She deserved much more.   I mean, I didn't want her die, but if she had to, then I wanted the killer to be someone much more significant than an extra from Criminal Minds.

You can't get much more significant in Banshee than Burton - he was in many ways my favorite character.  His combination of cool, loyalty, calm and deadly defense of Proctor and himself make him one of the most memorable characters on television.  I can't bring myself to say villain, because even now, revealed as Rebecca's killer, I can't think all that badly of him.  And that's saying a lot, too, because Rebecca was one of my favorite characters on the show, too.   Big kudos to Matthew Rauch and Lili Simmons for indelibly beautiful performances as these two.

Proctor, perfectly performed by Ulrich Thomsen, also was a peak, unforgettable character.   I was unhappy, as I said, when Rebecca turned up dead in the first episode of this final season, but in retrospect she was the beginning of the end of all three in Proctor's household.  Her death was thus a deftly presented calling card for what was to come.

Hood, Job, and Sugar all make resonating exits, too, each in his own way.  There was a nice evocative poetry in the three of them leaving.   None of them, including Sugar, ever really belonged in Banshee - I'm talking about the town not the show, that's why it's not italicized -  so it was deeply right that all three left.  Good work by Antony Starr, Hoon Lee, and Frankie Faison in these roles.

And what about Anna/Carrie (well played by Ivana Milicevic), and her decision not to leave?  Not as clear, and though I can understand why she needed to stay in town, to provide an anchor for her kids, her not leaving with Hood is the only thing that didn't quite ring true in this finale.   But what Hood said to her - you're the only one who ever knew me (or something like that, I don't feel right now like checking the DVR) - certainly did ring true and more.

I'm more than glad to have known Banshee, and will be singing its praises for years to come.

Banshee: Penultimate

Well, Banshee's set to air its very final episode this Friday, and I'm not happy about that.  And I'd be lying if I said this final season was even remotely satisfying - and that's in part because I don't want Banshee to end, but also partly because I think this final season is, on balance, the weakest.

The serial killer is something we've seen before in many places, including even Criminal Minds, about as different from Banshee as you can get.  It was done much better on Dexter, in every one of its seasons.  Unless some other suspect emerges in the finale, Rebecca deserved a more interesting killer.

And the neo-Nazis have been no great shakes as villains, either, on balance.   Proctor, the Native Americans, just about every other antagonist has been more interesting and less trite.   The only really exciting thing to happen with these white supremacists was the killing of the brutal father-in-law a few episodes ago.

Hood finally telling Brock who he really is was good to see, but even this lacked, I don't know, a certain dramatic tension.  Carrie's story also has been good, but weaker than it's been in earlier seasons.

I guess the reason I've been so disappointed this season is because Banshee was so compelling and stunningly original in prior years.  Even with this weak wrap-up, Banshee will go down as one of the most innovative and powerful shows ever on television.

And who knows, maybe the finale will surprise on Friday.

Banshee 4.5: Alliances

A pretty good Banshee 4.5 last night, featuring a series of important alliances and one surprise killing, all of which will have impact on the continuing story.

Probably the most propitious is the alliance between Proctor and Hood, after Proctor burns down Hood's house in the woods.  Proctor's entitled, I guess, seeing as how Hood reneged on his promise not to bed Rebecca, though who other than Proctor could blame him.  But it makes perfect sense that Proctor would want Hood on the case now, and reporting to Proctor, the minute the killer comes into view.

This complicates the other good alliance of the evening, Hood and Veronica.   Proctor wants Hood to bring the serial killer to him, and not leave the killer in the hands of the FBI.  Obviously Proctor wants to do more to this monstrosity than just kill him.  Presumably Veronica would have other ideas - though you never know, given her unconventional ways.

But speaking of monstrous, that neo-Nazi Randall just released from prison was a vicious piece of work, and it was good to see Calvin suddenly kill him, after Randall threatened, taunted, and ridiculed Calvin, and stirred up the crowd, and Brock prevailed upon Kurt not to sniper-shoot him in the head.   The upshot is that Calvin is pretty tough after all, and may be harder to beat than his late brutal father-in-law.

Job is back to his reassuring looks and self, and tells Hood an interesting piece of news about Carrie that I don't recall before this: she's determined to avenge her husband's death and blames Proctor for it.  This puts another complication in Hood's alliance with Proctor - not really an alliance, I guess, but something like that.   Fortunately for Proctor, Clay seems to be in the best, most astute shape we've ever seen him.

Banshee has always been about complications, and they're piling up quite well in this final season.

Banshee 4.3: Serial Killers and Theories

Banshee gave us the new Book of Job - or at least, Job, back, sense of sarcasm still much intact, after an ordeal that only he could survive.

The gunfight which won him his freedom was also top-drawer, with one big drawback, though, that I find not very explicable.  If our heroes knew that the bad guys were going to take the money and kill them, then why bring the money in the first place?   Why not just put a few real bills over a stack of white paper in  a suitcase, and then shoot the bejesus out of the bad guys when they discovered this?

Otherwise, though, a pretty good episode, especially with Proctor and the young woman he helps by bringing her back to Rebecca's room.   In many ways, Proctor is the most powerful character in this series - and that's saying a lot, because the show is filled with charismatic powerhouses - and part of his appeal is the way his wounded, even twisted humanity sometimes peeks almost angelically through.

But back to the murder at hand.  I don't think Rebecca's killer is just the serial killer we're beginning to see at large.  At least, I hope not.  That would be too easy.  But possibility the real killer is using the serial killer as a cover.   Or the real killer is doing the serial killings to distract from his (though, who knows, possible her) killing of Rebecca (and I still think Carrie could have been the intended victim).

The killer is certainly not Hood.  We of course already know how his blood got in the car.   But did  I hear something from Brock about Hood's semen being in Rebecca?   Possibly she slept with him as part of her good efforts to nurse him back to health after he saved her life - but wasn't that too long ago for any semen to still be in evidence?   We'll have to see - maybe I misheard.

Meanwhile, the white supremacists are moving along as expected - though I've got to say that, at this point, they're not as fearsome an adversary as Rabbit or even the Native Americans at their zenith.   Looking forward, in any case, to more next week.

Banshee 4.2: Carrie and Rebecca

The biggest reveal for me in Banshee 4.2 was the realization that Carrie and Rebecca look very similar, mainly because Carrie has been made to look much more like Rebecca than she has in previous seasons.  I'm too lazy to look for photos or take screen shots, but see for yourself in episode 4.2.

And this, in turn, leads me to a completely different hypothesis about who killed Rebecca:  maybe the intended victim was Carrie, and the killer got Rebecca by mistake.   We see Rebecca almost killed in 4.2, and she certainly has plenty of enemies, but putting Carrie into the target zone opens up all kinds of additional possibilities.

Meanwhile, it's of course good to see that Job is alive, if not entirely kicking as of yet.   His survival couldn't be a surprise, seeing as how much Hood has been tormenting himself about Job's presumed death and Hood's doing nothing about it - as of course everyone around Hood has been joining in with the refrain of why did you stop looking for Job.  Given that set-up, Job just had to be alive.

As to what Job will do once he escapes, that's a wide-open question, though there have been plenty of hints that his ordeal may have cured him of his devotion to Hood.  But you know what?  I don't quite believe that's the way its going to go down, either.

Back to what the characters look like - I think Hood looked better in previous seasons, but what do I know?  While I'm complaining, I also miss Siobhan more than I expected, though the new deputy shows some promise.   Fortunately, Proctor and Burton look the same, and that's reassuring, as the last season of Banshee moves into higher gear.
