Spoilers ahead.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>HBO\u2019s <em>Landscapers<\/em> is a four-part mini<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> based on true events, a 1998 double homicide in England, but it\u2019s really a love story. This is never more evident than in the December 27 finale, when the titular couple Susan (Olivia Colman) and Christopher Edwards (David Thewlis) go on trial for the murder of Susan\u2019s parents. Despite the sensational subject matter, it\u2019s the quiet moments of the episode that make it stand out.<\/p>\n<p>The episode opens with a letter from Susan to Christopher while they are in jail. Since Christopher\u2019s actions have largely caused their dire predicament\u2013his confession to his stepmom, his decision to return to England, his refusal to be represented by a lawyer, saying far more to the police than he should\u2013one would think that all of this would have drawn a wedge between them. But Susan\u2019s letter is simply there to say that she still loves him, and she\u2019s sorry for taking him away from the world.<\/p>\n<p>As the trial begins, Susan retreats to the fantasy in her head, where she and Chris are the stars of one of the Western movies she loves so much. Unlike previous episodes, real life is in black and white and the fantasy is in color. The trial passes by in a blur, as many of the scenes are out of focus, and Susan drifts from listening to the awful things the prosecutors are saying about her and Chris. It effectively shows how Susan has been handling her trauma for all these years.<\/p>\n<p>While throughout the series, and even in his testimony, Chris talks about how fragile Susan is, and how he has to take care of her, one of the best moments comes when Susan explains to her lawyer, Douglas (Dipo Ola), about a time when she took care of Chris. She and Douglas have a surprisingly sweet relationship, and it\u2019s with him that she finally feels comfortable saying that she\u2019s been behind her husband\u2019s correspondence with movie star G\u00e9rard Depardieu all along. She did it to help him out of his depression when his brother died.<\/p>\n<p>Douglas is empathetic, and responds by telling her how much he understands and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>reciates her\u2013something she clearly almost never hears from others in her life\u2013and says the one thing the prosecution has been avoiding; that what Susan\u2019s parents did to her was horrible, and she should have been protected and cared for. It\u2019s a beautiful moment of connection between the two, which contrasts well with the judge\u2019s decision in the very next scene: since the abuse Susan suffered was 15 years before the murder, it doesn\u2019t believably factor in as a reason for the killings. And in the following scene, the detective (Kate O\u2019Flynn) who went the hardest at them, admits to her partner (Samuel Anderson) that she once threatened to kill her father if he didn\u2019t stop beating up her mom. It\u2019s a sad parallel.<\/p>\n<p>Even though most of the people involved in this case don\u2019t sympathize with Susan, the show does an excellent job of making us feel for her. The prosecution presents a pretty damning case, but even if you believe that the Edwards\u2019 committed cold-blooded murder, it\u2019s easy to not feel bad for her parents after what they did to Susan. What is tragic is Susan and Chris\u2013two people who feel so out of place in the world but at home with each other\u2013being separated from each other.<\/p>\n<p>Bookending the episode is Chris\u2019s reply to Susan\u2019s letter. Like hers, it includes a declaration of love, but he also explains that she didn\u2019t take him away from the world, because she is \u201cthe person who made the world feel real\u201d to him. Having finished the letter, she imagines Chris showing up to whisk her away to the set of a Western. The Edwards are still serving their 25-year sentence, but maybe one day they\u2019ll be reunited, and their love will be as strong as ever.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_observations_that_we_thought_made_this_episode_stand_out\"><\/span><strong>Other observations that we thought made this episode stand out:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Chris signs his letter to Susan as G\u00e9rard Depardieu, implying that he always knew it was her who wrote Depardieu\u2019s letters, and loves her for it.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
