Just Life

Moonhaven!

Emma McDonald as Bella Sway.

I only heard about this show because it was canceled, and what a fucking tragedy. Itโ€™s the first show Iโ€™ve watched in a long time where the future culture portrayed felt truly foreign and divergent.

I understand why itโ€™s low-rated on IMDB. Itโ€™s beyond strange, it doesnโ€™t explain much to you, and it used a lot of oddball words and bizarre ideas. I loved loved loved it.

The โ€œinterrogationโ€ scene in the first episode is amazing, where cultures clash completely and both sides are amused and have no clue whatโ€™s going on. (In this world, the โ€œpoliceโ€ on the Moon are basically psychologists/grief counselors.) And Emma McDonald is so very good. Sheโ€™s what a tough person is actually like in real life, not the usually over-dramatized version found in most movies and TV shows โ€” especially if itโ€™s a woman.

โ€œWhen youโ€™re born into it, itโ€™s not weird. Itโ€™s just life.โ€

What a great show. Of course it had to be cancelled. Canโ€™t have anything that confuses the normies lying about.
