This new "HBO" series called "Run" is one that's a fun drama like it's a traveling romantic comedy on the run! It's really a wild and far out kind of adventure as the viewer never knows what is around the next corner of the train tracks! The story involves a bored and sex starved California housewife Ruby(the good Merritt Wever) who gets a returned text from one of her past ex boyfriends named Billy(Domhnall Gleeson) who simply tells her to run, something like an old game from their college days! Once this journey begins their is no stopping as it's a forward play of travel just like following the yellow brick road. The adventure begins cross country from Grand Central as with each rail travel and each hotel check in who knows what the connection and chemistry will bring I will say it's often inviting and sexy! As each encounter is often a tease of information as both have blurry and conflicted pasts. How will this journey turn out do each go back to their own real lives or does a new joy of discovery await? Overall pretty good series that blends drama comedy and black heart like suspense of wonder and possibility.
