The Perfect Medicine…
I’m temporarily unemployed and what do you do in that situation? You binge. Healthier if it’s dramas and not Doritos. That’s how I ended up watching all of To the Wonder in one day.
Honestly, it almost cured my job angst :). Instead of a stressful plot, this show takes you into the beautiful, quiet grasslands of Altay (I think that’s how you spell it?). The filming is amazing—every scene looks like a painting. Watching the FL, leave the stressful big city to live with a nomadic community will resonate if you need a mental break yourself. (I may do this!) The show moves slowly, almost luxuriously so, which is exactly what my fried brain needed.
Everything feels real. It doesn’t feel ‘written’. It lets the scenery and the local culture do the talking. It is a peaceful, beautiful watch. I recommend!
