We didn't know anyone in the city, and I didn't expect there to be many people there, apart from close friends and family. But as we approached the cemetery we saw to our astonishment that crowds and crowds of people had turned out to line the streets, bowing their heads in respect as we passed by.
It was surreal'
He said the government focused in 2020 and 2021 on lowering electricity prices by eight per cent, investing $10 billion a year in childcare, and providing $30 billion of tax relief for low and middle income earners.
It glues itself together with realistic, loyal characters bonded by their harrowing shared ordeals. There's even a believable love story, a flicker of warmth amid the creepy science, cryptic puzzles and trippy imagery.
At our local chapel of rest, the undertaker's wife dressed Sarah and Vicki in their favourite clothes. I couldn't wait to welcome them home from their terrible ordeal and to have them back with me, in their own surroundings again.
Prairie has scars on her back and experiences traumatic episodes, but won't burden her adopted parents with her story. Instead, she takes to the internet, finding like-minded friends via the medium of YouTube.
That's right. Forget Marvel. This is the show to watch if you want a rich, existential look at the interconnectedness of all things. The world of the OA is vast and the way it works follows the most unexpected rules.
Some cultural bodies have prompted accusations of McCarthyism - the anti-Russian hysteria whipped up during the 1950s - for rushing to cancel Russian culture in response to Vladimir Putin's (above) invasion order
'And that is already seeing money roll out into people's pockets, particularly for young people and for young women. If you're a woman who's 25 and under you've seen more than $2,000 of tax relief on average.'
Since the law changed three years ago to provide singletons with the same surrogacy rights as couples, 82 applications were made by single 'intended parents', according to the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service.
The OA doesn't abide by any strict TV series formula either. The opening credits don't appear until 57 minutes into the show. It was written like an eight-hour film, with a novelistic approach. You don't meet some of the main characters until a third of the way through.
From here, the story functions a little like the mystery in Yellowjackets. We don't know whether Prairie is telling her new friends the truth or not. We don't know whether she truly has supernatural powers. To them, it doesn't entirely matter. She brings unhappy, trapped people together, showing them the same kindness and understanding they've afforded her. Showing them an escape.
Julie Bindel, a feminist campaigner, said: 'There are questions to be asked why single men, all of a sudden, want babies that they will be the sole parents for, when traditionally they have passed on the lion's share of caring responsibilities for children to women.'

Of those, 54 were from men.
And season 2 is even better than the first. It becomes a noir detective story set in Silicon Valley, where kids, one of whom is played by Zendaya, are disappearing after competing in a VR game on an app. Shot with a more polished look, season 2 is slightly less bleak than the character drama of season 1. There are even attempts at humor -- Marling is no stranger to comedy, appearing in Community and British series Babylon.
He had been so affected that he had even spoken about giving up his playing career.
I stressed to him that neither Sarah nor Vicki would want him to do that. I told John that if they knew he was thinking like that, it would make them very sad.
Some cultural bodies have prompted accusations of McCarthyism - the anti-Russian hysteria whipped up during the 1950s - for rushing to cancel Russian culture in response to Vladimir Putin's invasion order.
Surprisingly, the ending of season 2 almost works as a finale for the whole series. Still, Marling and Batmanglij have the real conclusion tucked away somewhere. Let's pray they have a chance to bring season 3 to the screen. Someone please hop dimensions and rescue this show from the realm of canceled TV.
The 60-year-old author - born in St Petersburg to Russian parents and assigned mandatory military service assisting the KGB - has been forced to flee his home in Kyiv with his English wife, Elizabeth, and their three children.
Netflix made a mistake by canceling this show. Many fans believed it was a publicity stunt -- there was no way the streamer would stop funding this acclaimed, if expensive, series intended for five seasons, each wildly different in style and setting from the previous.
The OA is difficult to describe, because it sews a handful of different genres into its own ethereal plane. The OA is surreal at times. Yet instead of floating images gently knocking against each other, the sci-fi here is delivered with the grounded assuredness of a Christopher Nolan movie. It moves with the same relentless force.
