steven-222 Review of Klangor

Klangor (2021– )

Shocking. Powerful. Appalling. A masterpiece of noir crime drama.

[10/10 · 30 August 2022]

This series seems to be a slow burn for the first few episodes, taking its time to lay out and then pull taut the various story-threads. Then..the reveal in episode six...and from that point on every moment is intensely gripping. This series takes us to a dark place of voyeurism and transgression, a place that exists only after midnight, when inhibitions are left behind and anything can happen--an exciting, frightening, dangerous place that can spiral out of control at any moment. David Lynch has sometimes taken us there, but he never delivers a coherent narrative; this is as if Lynch's intense sense of dread were combined with the storytelling skill of Roman Polanski. Yes, it's that good.
