The Deeper You Dig

Between everything competing for your attention, The Deeper You Dig in Australia on Amazon Prime Video and Hoopla, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Philo is worth clearing space for. A tight runtime that never overstays its welcome. With 76 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. John Adams anchors it with a performance that rewards close attention. Put it on tonight on Amazon Prime Video and see for yourself.

The Deeper You Dig arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The writing in The Deeper You Dig treats its characters as people first, plot devices second. 14-year old Echo and her mother Ivy, a tarot card reader, live a quiet life in a rural area. When reclusive Kurt moves down the road to restore an abandoned farmhouse, an accident leads to Echo’s murder, and suddenly three lives collide in mysterious and wicked ways. Kurt assumes he can hide his secret under the ground. John Adams and Toby Poser lead a cast that treats the material with real seriousness. The Deeper You Dig came out in 2019. The Deeper You Dig resists tidy resolutions in a way that respects how messy real consequences actually are. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

The Deeper You Dig is what you recommend to people who say they do not really watch much. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. John Adams's work here is the kind that gets referenced in career retrospectives. It makes everything else feel thin by comparison.
