Featured review
One of Apple's Best Tv shows yet.
Episode 6 of Black Bird starts with Jimmy having a bad dream. He's imagining himself in Larry's place; he's choking out girls; disagreeing with his father; he's also playing football. AppleTV have been on a roll this year with some absolute bangers. After Shining Girls, Severance and Pachinko, Black Bird has followed suit with a really solid and smartly written drama. The show has managed to blend excellent acting and a simple but effective storyline into this 6 episode miniseries. The ending gives no illusion over how this one has ended and I'd be really surprised if we get another season. Everything here is wrapped up while simultaneously doing enough to make for a solid watch on its own. Jimmy Keene manages to get a confession from Larry eventually, and although the story is quite straight forward, the way it comes about is anything but. There's a lot of intriguing elements to this show and the writing has been solid across the board. Ultimately, Black Birds bows out with a great finale, rounding out this series on a high.
When Jimmy eventually wakes up, Larry is watching him from the edge of the cell. Larry mentions his stories, as Jimmy challenges him and wants details. Eventually, Larry grits his teeth and squares up to Jimmy. "I'm not lying James," He says. Jimmy isn't convinced, pointing out that he has "wannabee" eyes. When Larry leaves though, he tells his friend to meet in the woodshop later so he can show what sort of eyes he has. Gigante waits for Jimmy outside his cell with his boys. He throws an ominous threat his way, before walking off. With this rattling around in Jimmy's mind, our protagonist shows up at the woodshop as promised. He's carved 21 birds. Apparently he's the carver while Gary is the one who paints. The birds watch over the dead, guiding their spirits and making sure they're okay. Now, that means if there are 21 birds then there could well be 21 dead bodies too. Larry tells Jimmy he's part of something bigger. Folding the clothes are apparently an act of kindness for a deity. And the person's clothes? Trisha Reitler's. Larry also admits to killing her, and goes on to nonchalantly declare he's dug so many graves - including Tricia's. According to Larry, Tricia's grave is the best he's ever dug and no one will find it. He also knows exactly where that is - including "everyone else's" too.
