Read Mrs. Dalloway for the burnout generation + give this Polish Netflix thriller a try

???? ON THE TUBE TONIGHT-

(all times CLT)

Polish miniseries Open Your Eyes is one of these shows that exceed your expectations. Seventeen year old Julia finds herself in an amnesia treatment facility after an accident that took away her family. Bit by bit she starts to discover discrepancies in what the facility is teaching her and others about their past selves and begins to become suspicious of her unconventional treatment. This is X-Men meets Stranger Things — with a little bit of Girl, Interrupted thrown in the middle. It's a slow burner at first but with quite a good build up of thriller and mystery, and an ending that you will not see coming. Do not watch this dubbed.=

Mrs Dalloway for the burnout generation: One of this fall’s biggest debuts comes from former London banker Natasha Brown in the form of her novel Assembly. The book depicts a black woman’s life as she rises up the social and economic ladder, but still desires to opt out of capitalism altogether. Her existential crisis seems to come to a head when she attends a lavish garden party at her white boyfriend’s family estate. Drawing comparisons to Virginia Woolf’s classic Mrs. Dalloway for its depiction of the struggles and doubts of a high-society woman, the protagonist’s searing and unforgettable experience may be uncomfortable to read, but is ultimately rewarding. “It’s a quiet, measured call to revolution. It’s about everything that has changed and still needs to change, socially, historically, politically, personally,” the Guardian writes.
