Whoosh2024 End of the Year Drama Challenge
Day 23 - An innovative drama you watched in 2024?
Just to check myself, I started a rewatch of "The Atypical Family." Aside from the innovative story that looks at being overweight, depression, alcoholism, & other societal problems, the directing & editing were unique.
Although many dramas have gorgeous cinematography, & many also use lighting, symbolism, music, sound, framing, color, focus & more to help tell the story, "The Atypical Family" rose above & used it all to clarify what exactly is happening in the scene. The emotions of the characters are often reflected in their surroundings.
It uses the trick of washing out the background to almost grayscale to indicate time travel, but you notice little pops of color in things that have meaning to the characters.
I'm noticing even more of this (because I'm watching for it now) in the 1st 2 episodes of the rewatch.
