Great writing credits - Henry James & Truman Capote, a bit close and stifling - too much of the period, but clever in the multiple ways it allows the viewer to resolve the events in their own mind.
And - as perhaps proof of it's success I had a dream of evil, presentiment, a disembodied presence that haunted near to me, and woke up disturbed. Which - generally, should be to it's credit.

I'd seen all the fuss and then watched this on YouTube and thought I'd check in and see if I liked it.
Watched Season 1. Now it's OK - by which I mean, well, not exactly to my taste, it seems like an Adult Swim sorta thing, which makes sense and is a lot funnier if you're up past midnight and stoned, which I'm not.

I'd promised the daughter I'd fix up the tooth she found, and so finally I got around to it. Have been postponing, and then began it and left in bits all over the kitchen, finally, finally finished it up. Bloody hell.
Originally:
Which we took out with a great deal of the accompanying dirt.
Washed, and carefully picked out all the pieces:
Some work ahead of me for sure. But I like this sort of stuff...
A bit of the glue used to mount it visible behind.
The other two finds that day:
The last one was a bit of a disappointment - a good complete piece that completely disintegrated upon mounting, had to scramble to get it partially back together before the glue dried.
In future the best policy would probably be to encase the specimens in resin or liquid plastic - for all my work they don't seem to get better, so just preserve them as they were found.
Next time.
