Rueben's Ramblings

On March 13, the Agatha Christine 2-part Amazon series The Pale Horse will debut online.

When a murder investigation is launched into the death of a young woman, a mysterious list of names is discovered in her shoe, prompting an inquiry not only to find the killer but also to understand the list of names. One of those named is Mark Easterbrook (Rufus Sewell). He embarks on an investigation into how and why his name came to appear on the list; an investigation that leads him to The Pale Horse – the peculiar home of a trio of rumored witches in the beautiful village of Much Deeping.

Past and present collide for Mark as he uncovers ties between his deceased first wife, Delphine (Georgina Campbell) and the witches. As more people named on the list are found dead, Mark starts to fear for his own life and sanity. Despite Mark’s skepticism of the paranormal, he cannot help but be consumed by the increasingly strange and extraordinary things happening around him.

Leo Borlock (Graham Verchere) is a shy teen who tries to blend in with others at Mica High School in Arizona. Susan “Stargirl” Caraway (Grace VanderWaal), a previously home-schooled, colorful, offbeat, ukulele-playing free spirit, arrives to enter tenth grade. Most of the kids at school shun her because of her uniqueness, but Leo falls in love with her and admires her resilience.

After an argument with Leo, Stargirl tries to fit in and become more conventional, adopting her given name, Susan, but this does not succeed in making her popular. She reverts to her unique persona and, after an eventful prom, moves away. But she leaves behind strong and enduring memories, not just with Leo, but with the whole school.
