Photo-Illustration: Vulture Wouldn’t it be nice to just look at some pretty trees? As we close the book on 2021 and its televisual output, what if instead of only thinking about TV in terms of best and worst, ambition and escapism, performance and accomplishment, bingeing and weekly releases, impact and style and design and innovation and inspiration and pleasure, we could also think of it in terms of all the lovely trees that appeared onscreen this year.
Here’s a tree from Schmigadoon. It’s clearly a fake tree, which adds to its charm. The fakeness makes me less worried about the health of this particular tree; under other circumstances, you’d have to wonder if it were maybe suffering from a fungal infection. This one is a shot from Reservation Dogs, which contains both actual trees, and trees of a more winking sort. Sometimes trees have creepy symbols on them; here’s a good example from Yellowjackets.
Some glorious upward-angled tree shots from The White Lotus. I feel like if you’re into Richard Powers’s The Overstory this might be the one for you, but I haven’t made it very far into that book yet, so instead I’m just enjoying the warm, diffuse lighting.
