When the derivative Netflix spy drama Treason premiered in 2022, I used the Charlie Cox vehicle as an excuse to write a small treatise on the institutional misuse and overuse of in medias res openings. I’ve occasionally needed to reference what I wrote, but I’ve never been able to consistently remember what show I pegged the analysis to.

I’m visiting the largest ever indoor exhibition of work by Andy Goldsworthy, one of Britain’s most influential nature artists. His recent installations have a visceral sense of rural landscape: hare’s blood on paper, sheep shit on canvas, rusty barbed wire, stained wool, cracked clay.The show is a sensory celebration of earth – its textures and temperatures, colours, character. The seasons cycle…
