What if Netflix but too much?
Of the season’s other episodes, two, “Mazey Day” and “Demon 79,” veer closer to supernatural horror than dystopian parable—both are also set in the past, not the future—and the other, the feature-length “Beyond the Sea,” is so vague and distended it doesn’t feel like it’s about anything at all. So credit at least to the season’s opening episodes for knowing who their bad guy is.
. So you don’t feel the numbing dread of moving towards a what-if, so much as a vague sense of recognition: You too, huh?The season’s off-model episodes aren’t bad, exactly: Anjana Vasan and Paapa Essiedu make a great duo in “Demon 79,” set in late-1970s London, and director Toby Haynes’ vision of a vintage department store as a particular lacquered circle of hell suggests that he is, as he should be, a big fan of Peter Strickland’sepisodes because that’s the banner Netflix forced them under.
