It's actually because of the birds. 😄 Where I see birds, I think of Hitchcock. Although it's about 'good' birds here, but who knows, the poles can always shift and everything can turn upside down at any moment, as it often does in this messed up world.
I don't remember watching the new series. Especially recently. And if I watched it and I don't remember anything, because I really don't remember anything, then I must not have been impressed by it at all. But the mystery of the first season was definitely something...
