8 episodes, 30-70 minutes each

Highly recommend

I burst into tears during the final episode because it was so moving. tbf I am a bit weepy right now but still

what is it even about?

i keep seeing people gushing about it but even from the synopsis i have no idea

unless the plot is a spoiler

Brit Marling is so underrated and I like Zal Batmanalja (sp?) too. Plus Jason Isaacs.

It's about a girl who disappears for seven years then comes back weird. She gathers a group to help her and tells them about what happened to her, basically

The show is half what happened and half present coping/real world dealing

oooh ok

But it has a sci-fi/fantasy edge, like most of their (Brit and Zal) work does. 90% reality, 10% other

i will have to check it out, it sounds right up my alley

I hesitate to elaborate beyond that, because spoilers

I think you'd like it! strong female protag too, obv

always a plus

Oh also I should mention that it's kind of rough to watch sometimes. Not gore/violence or sexual assault or anything, but just.. so uncomfortable and tense at times.
