Featured review
Haunting.
Wow, these episodes Part One and Two of Cracker are certainly among the best. The nature of love in all its forms, layers, twists and turns, is examined. We get a look at how Fitz, the lead character, understands the power and meaning of love, yet in his own life, pushes love away. For example,he will not forgive his wife for a brief infidelity which took place while he and his wife were SEPARATED. Yet she is supposed to forgive him for his chronic gambling, drinking, and egotistical and selfish behavior. He lusts after a colleague and considers an affair, yet does not question his own double standard with regard to his wife.
Fitz really IS his own worst enemy, yet we can't totally dislike him. We feel sorry for him and at the same time, we don't. He evokes complex and contradictory feelings in us. He is fascinating.
How does he have such confidence in his sex appeal for women when he is so overweight, that is one thing I would like to know.
This two-parter left me feeling unsettled, and pondering again the power and complexity of love as it plays out in the murder story and in Fitz' private life. Don't miss these Lemming episodes.
