Description: (from HBO's press release, July 2020) Limited series created by Felix Barrett and Dennis Kelly. The show's six episodes are divided into "Summer" and "Winter." Told over the first three episodes, "Summer" stars Jude Law as Sam, a man who is drawn to a mysterious island off the British coast where he encounters a group of islanders set on preserving their traditions at any cost. Isolated from the mainland, Sam is unable to leave the idyllic and dangerously enchanting world he has discovered, where the secretive rituals of its inhabitants bring him to grapple with experiences of loss and trauma hidden in his past through the distorted lens of the present. As boundaries between fantasy and reality fragment, his quest to unlock the truth leads the islanders to reveal a shocking secret. "Summer" is written by Dennis Kelly and directed by Marc Munden. "Winter" unfolds over the latter three episodes and stars Naomie Harris as Helen, a strong-willed outsider who comes to the island seeking answers, but whose arrival precipitates a fractious battle to decide its fate as the lines between fantasy and fact are distorted. "Winter" is written by Kit De Waal, Dean O'Loughlin and Dennis Kelly and directed by Philippa Lowthorpe. (from futoncritic.com)
