The Kettering Incident

The comparison with Twin Peaks is in my opinion a bit exaggerated, even though The Kettering Incident has its charm. Its best feature is without any doubt its atmosphere, which is pleasantly supernatural and manages to stay like this the entire time. Moreover, Tasmania is quite exotic, connecting nature reminiscent of Scandinavia with a flavor of something unique. The problem, however, lies in the story, because it’s completely overshadowed by the atmosphere. The slender Elizabeth Debicky keeps wandering about like a lost gazelle, sticking her nose into things that don’t concern her. And that’s the whole story. Moreover, the conclusion spoils the series further by making the mysterious premise rather laughable. Such premises are always tricky; we rarely see them done properly. (2020.02.24)
