Vigil TV Review (Spoilers)
It’s been awhile since I’ve reviewed something and with lockdown dragging on I’ve watched quite a bit. Just recently, a friend and I watched the BBC’s big Sunday night submarine drama, Vigil (it was the biggest new drama to air in the UK this year and by the production company behind Line of Duty no less!).

| I saw the film ages ago without context and was left very confused but I enjoyed the Neapolitan quartet so much I had to read this. This is a psychological study of womanhood and motherhood which is raw, unsettling and very realistic. | |
