Anxious People

Folio Swami

At twice the speed, it's a pleasant State television mini-series. Meaning the 6 episodes could have easily fit into 3, or even 2 parts. And it's not a story. It's a succession of vignettes turned up-side-down just to make boring stories seem interesting, simply because the audience has to work for their entertainment. In the end, there is no character development, in a way there is no action either. Just the usual feel good Christmas story rich Europeans tell each other to make themselves feel more like the brown people living with the White man's armies and weapons.
