'Deadwater Fell': Episode 2 Recap

Deadwater Fell is a series that’s deeply interested in forcing us, as viewers, to confront our assumptions and prejudices about the kind of story we’re watching.

Thanks to procedurals and true crime podcasts, we’ve all been conditioned to immediately assume one thing: If a woman is dead, the husband is guilty af. After all, it’s usually true. They’re the people who are most likely to have a motive, means and access, and we’ve all seen too many dead-eyed, control freaks just like Tom Kendricks who end up hurting women they’re close to.

Or…have we?
