...pastels, has a menacing gaiety. (The show was filmed on location in southern Africa, and it's shot through with gorgeous lemony light.) The miniseries shows flashes of surreal playfulness: the only foods served at any occasion in the Village, for instance, are wraps. (You just knew they were evil.)
