Death Valley, with Timothy Spall, is great for at least two reasons:
1. Timothy Spall
2. Wales. And Welsh.
In a different timeline, the standard British accent is Welsh, and the rest of the world is enthralled (possibly even ensorcelled) by its musicality, and there's world peace and universal love and much happiness.

Calamus 25 The prairie-grass dividing
Whitman's celebration of simple men, of men from "inland America", of those who are unimpressed by Presidents and Governors. It's a romantic sentiment but in 2025 also feels a little naïve or condescending.

I mean this: if every receiver just connected to its source when it was ready, and we hadn't made short-timeout stateful firewalls everywhere, we'd have to deploy SO MANY fewer weird one-off services just to receive something.
Instead we have to provision certificates and public facing hostnames to get communication going. Backend development is so much more complex and less robust because of it.
