the lone, single season of The Fades (6 episodes?!? was that all?!?), an end-of-days sci-fi/fantasy, is still on Hulu and very much worth the watch.
bonus, it's an earlier casting of Daniel Kaluuya and Agent of Shield's Iain De Caestecker.

of Charlie Brown and she says 'you never ask me to moan'
that’s because a kiss completes us
heat rises from the earth, melts the snow
& wets the leaves."

"Yonder they do not love your flesh. They despise it. They don't love your eyes; they'd just as soon pick em out. No more do they love the skin on your back. Yonder they flay it. And O, Charlie Brown, they do not love your hands."

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure, Charlie Brown

i think it's because of her voice that ive always thought of Macy Gray as "child-like"... "youthful", maybe... but watching her play someone's mama (or grandma?!?!) in a movie & realizing we're the exact same age (yeah, yeah im a grandpa too) has me feeling OLD AF for no good gotdamn reason.
