In Episode 14 of the EWBR podcast, Anisha & Dhruv discuss their favourite dark and disturbing books: from Christina Dalcher's Vox to George Orwell’s 1984 to Lionel Shriver’s We Need to Talk About Kevin to Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let me Go and plenty, plenty more. Then there's a little rant about the Amy Adams starrer The Woman in The Window (sigh) and some high praise for Kate Winslet’s riveting character study in the limited series, Mare of Easttown. Plus, after being lauded as the future of home entertainment, has the Netflix backlash begun? What gives?
