I have to say I’m enjoying this Showtime sequel of the classic 1976 film of the same name. To be honest, I never “got” the iconic Bowie film, seeing it in the theater when it debuted; even rewatching it last year left me…unmoved. But this continuation, this sequel to the story…that has captured me. I love the casting (c’mon Chiwetel Ejiofor, how can you not?), the sets and the story telling. I especially like the way the series has paid homage to Bowie himself by not only naming each episode after a Bowie song but also sprinkling Bowie Easter eggs and references to the original movie throughout.
I just finished Episode 7 “Cracked Actor” of 10 and it left me screaming, “More! More!”
A truly engaging series. Highly recommended.
