It stars Anna Sawai, who was so good in Shogun that I will forgive her a lot.

And there are a few episodes in this TV series that I needed to forgive.

But what really makes this show compelling to me and why I kept coming back was because I have so much fondness for Kurt Russell.
matched
And something that this show did and was able to do, I think, perhaps uniquely in the universe of all TV and movies...
matched
is that they cast father and son, Kurt and Wyatt Russell, as the same character at two different points in time.
matched
If you're not familiar with both actors, they are the spitting image of each other.
matched
It is truly like somebody digitally de-aged Kurt Russell and then put it on another actor because Wyatt is his son and he looks exactly like Kurt did when he was that age.
matched
It is amazing.
matched
So the conceit of that casting is just magical.
matched
And there is one episode when the two actors have a reason to actually act against each other.
matched
And it fulfills all of the promise that that casting brings to the table.
matched
It's an amazing scene.
matched
It made me forgive all of the flaws of the show and really enjoy and appreciate everything else it had done just to get to that point.
matched
because it only could exist with this casting and with the story and the construct that this fantasy story of the show would allow.
matched
So come for the monsters, stay for the Russells.
matched
I like anything to do with Godzilla.
matched
Oh, a Poe reference, eh?
matched
Are you still recording, by the way?
