What to Watch: Jumping on ‘Snowpiercer,’ gay occult horror and Fraggles return
Whatever your entertainment needs, we got your back (and hopefully your mind) with Queerty’s weekly “Culture Club” column with some of the highlights of new releases, streaming shows, classics worth revisiting, and what to drink while you watch.TV’s most underrated sci-fi adventure series returns.
To recap: Snowpiercer follows the tribulations of the last colony of humans on Earth. The planet has become uninhabitable thanks to sub-zero temperatures, and all remaining humans live aboard Snowpiercer, a 10-mile train designed by a megalomaniacal billionaire (Sean Bean).
This season picks up with Snowpiercer divided into two trains. One group of renegades led by the freedom fighter Layton (Daveed Diggs) searches for Melanie (Jennifer Colony) the train’s co-designer who has vanished while searching for habitable land.
The other, led by Sean Bean’s Wilford, enacts ever-more violent means of control of the train’s passengers while continuing to elevate Wilford as God on Earth.As with past seasons, queer actress Rowan Blanchard gives a standout performance in a cast of exemplary actors.
