In the Clearing

Being familiar with the subject The Clearing is loosely based on, I found this to be a captivating series. The slow pace adds to the suspense and each episode reveals more about the characters and how they got there and how they fit into the story. The acting is superb, especially the young actors playing "Amy" and "Sara/Asha". Miranda Otto is sublime as "Matreiya" and perfectly captures the quiet insanity and unhinged mental state of the mother figure. The supporting cast are equally unhinged, including Freya, Joe, Tamsyn, Hannah, Bryce and Henrik. It is a story of how the sin of one becomes the sin of all.
