Time

58Watch it awake.

The question is whether the truth gets said, or whether loyalty and guilt keep it down.

The review

The third series of Time is set in a young offenders' institution. The chaplain arrives having lost her faith. A tragedy inside the walls puts her against a veteran officer who knows more than he has said. Two boys are in the first weeks of a sentence: one has a violence his parents will have to hear, and one is asked whether family loyalty matters more than the truth about a dead man. The BBC's own synopsis stops on that question.

The measure is the question. A lockup is not a home, and a loyalty that covers a death is not love. A house with a son already knows which of those two sentences it has to keep.

Journal

Keep Time in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 58. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household is the thin one.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Under the Banner of Heaven

70 instead of 58

Under the Banner of Heaven is still a drama show, and it scores 70 instead of 58. What you gain is household: Marriage, sister-wives, children: the household is where the theology lands.

The eight

6
Industry
The warden's work is the watch. The chaplain's work is to stay in a chapel after the faith has gone.
5
Household
Two boys, and parents one of them may not be able to face. A family loyalty is also the thing that may cover a death.
5
Piety
She has lost the faith and she is still the chaplain. The office is doing the work the feeling will not.
6
Courage
Coming clean is the question put to the warden. The series is built on whether he will.
6
Republic
A state that locks up children owes them more than a cell. The picture is willing to say the place is failing.
5
Temperance
The violence is the weather of the place. It is not offered as a style.
7
Truth
One boy may be hiding the truth about a dead man. The other is asked to face what he did. Both debts are to the truth.
6
Stewardship
What is at stake is whether these boys leave as the same harm, or as someone a house could take back.

Arcane

58Watch it awake.

A sister's love against a city's split. The invention is not progress just because it shines. Older teens.

The review

Vi and Powder love each other in a way the plot keeps punishing, because a city arranged like this one punishes that kind of loyalty. Jayce thinks he is building a public good. Viktor thinks he is curing a body. Both of them are also building a power that will not stay in the hands of the careful. The show is among the few adventure series of the decade that thinks a political economy is part of a character.

Older teenagers, not children. The beauty will sell it to them anyway. Watch far enough to say the sentence out loud: a tool that widens the distance between the top of a city and the bottom is not neutral, and a sister is not a cause you get to spend.
