Jude Law and Naomie Harris star in an HBO limited series about family trauma, an island with weird religious practices and the evocative beauty of a causeway.

In 1903, Frederick Nicholas Charrington, who forsook a lucrative fortune to dedicate his life to helping London's less fortunate, purchased Osea, a small island off the River Blackwater in Essex. Charrington, a former brewer himself, turned Osea into a working camp for recovering alcoholics and malcontents.

The next three episodes,"Winter," are set several months later and focus on another newcomer to the island. Helen arrives accompanied by daughters Ellie and Tallulah as part of a very strange and poorly planned birthday celebration. They also discover that Osea is full of natives behaving bizarrely and, once again, paranoia builds.

Because the genre has traditionally used a man — generally a white man — as its point of entry, the"Winter" section is the vastly more interesting of the show's two halves. Unfortunately, attempts to show how outsider interactions play differently when the protagonist is a Black woman are limited to Harris' character concluding that the locals who behave strangely toward her are racist, and then when they say they're not, there isn't really anywhere to go.
