A Four-Part Mystery About Listening Becomes a Conversation About Who Gets Heard
Rebecca Hall and Janicza Bravo discuss the finale of their four-part BBC limited series “The Listeners,” in which an unexplained death reframes a workplace drama about perception itself.
Desk note. Monexus treats this interview as primary reporting about a text, not as a review of the text itself; the wire trade press framed the same conversation around craft and closure, and we lean into the politics of audience and institution the makers are more coy about naming.
