Story line
Created, directed, and starring Terence Nance, RAoF is a variety series featuring stunning abstract visuals, jarring juxtapositions, and such raw and honest emotion. Being described as a "fluid, mind-melting stream-of-conscious response to the contemporary American mediascape", the series is of course very surreal, with the through-line plot being driven by a video game creator and artist Najja (Alicia Pilgrim) and her partner (Nance), as they explore each other in their relationship, the atrocities of their ancestral pasts, and the hidden truths of their realities. Entwined with heavy themes of spiritualism, music, dance, and poetry, the series flows more as a performative art statement piece than it does a network sketch comedy, and while I did gut laugh a few times over its two season run it is not a series I would describe as funny. Lots of commentary on politics and media itself, RAoF is beautiful in its style, the directing and composition is top notch, the acting is very good, and the score is just perfect. Not something which would be easy to binge, for me each episode needed a period of self reflection before moving onto the next, but as a piece of artistic experience if you enjoy abstractly transparent hard hitting truths, I would highly recommended. I'm so excited for whatever Nance works on next.
