Centering around experiences during the pandemic, this Cignal Entertainment and EpicMedia Productions six-episode anthology show is a mixed bag with promising thrills and passé plots.Throughout these difficult times, art has served as salvation for the stranded. It has been a means to travel around the world or back in time; a way to live out someone else’s life when life becomes unbearable; a source of joy and hope when our environments are filled with grief and dread.
It is a tonal outlier from the rest of the series, but it offers something interesting: voyeurism as a two-way street. Social media now allows us to stalk and follow each other online in a similar way that binoculars were used to spy on neighbors — kind of like in Alfred Hitchcock's “Rear Window,” a film that “From My Window” references.
As an ensemble piece, it astounds me how much it works. The overlapping dialogue creates naturalistic conversations via call, only to be disrupted by static and technical issues we’ve come to know through video conferencing. Silence stands out amid dialogue. What makes matters more discomforting is in what isn’t being discussed verbally but is visible in the body language and in their eyes.
Dodo Dayao continues to prove that he is, at least in my opinion, one of the most exciting creators we have today." follows a man and a woman as they connect online, professing their gratitude at finding one another during this dark period. As the audience is lured into the idyllic love story, it becomes apparent that they’re possibly attached to other people. The process of revealing this information is a great marriage between the editing , and the direction and screenwriting.
Capitalizing on drama and thrill, the digital economy creates monsters out of consumers. Fandoms create a need within fans to become closer and closer to their idols, at times disrespecting established boundaries. The highs provided by attention and money to influencers are accompanied by the lows of stalking and obsessive behaviors by their followers.
