Guess I Should Catch Up With Surface


I couldn't find any information whatsoever on that photo of Oliver Jackson-Cohen fully mounting Phil Dunster, but since they're both on the second season of the Apple+ series Surface I'm assuming it has to do with that? I watched the first season of the show it feels like ages ago (and posted about it many times) and yet I keep forgetting the second season dropped -- this image however has smacked that forgetfulness right off my face. Dunster wasn't on the first season but he does have a previous work connection to Olly -- they didn't share scenes but they were both in the 2017 miniseries Man in an Orange Shirt, and they both played gay in it! Oliver was partnered with James McArdle in the WWII-era portion of it, while Dunster got railed by Julian Morris in one of the greatest scenes ever committed to celluloid. That was pre-Ted-Lasso though so at that time I was paying more attention to my boy Julian -- no more though! Now I have room for them both in my.... heart. Anyway I doubt Surface will reach those heights, but it gave us that picture up top and for that we are forever thankful.
