When we first meet Mie in the pilot, she’s been admitted to a mental hospital and is the sole suspect in a missing persons case. Every day is obviously a challenge, both for her and for her husband Benoit and young daughter Romy. ![]() She retains all of her long-term memories prior to the crash but struggles to keep any of the short-term memories she’s made since then. There’s definitely one strand too many in there – I haven’t even mentioned the pyromaniac ally/enemy yet – but if you have the patience Tabula Rasa is worth your time due to its twisty narrative, spooky imagery, and a truly stellar star turn from Veerle Baetens, who also co-created the series (and does indeed look like a Belgian Hilary Swank).Ī brief explanation: A 2017 Belgian show (in Flemish, with English subtitles) just added to Netflix last week, Tabula Rasa can be easily, if somewhat inaccurately described as coming about as the result of someone asking, “What would Memento look like as a haunted house story, minus the backwards narrative gimmick?” The central character, Annemi D’Haze, Mie for short (Baetens), was once a famous performer, but now she has retrograde amnesia caused by a car crash. Tabula Rasa, for example, takes four full episodes to lean into horror, but even then there are cop stories to be satisfied, a mystery to be solved, and possible marital infidelity to uncover as well as the looming question of whether the horror is real or just in the lead character’s mind. In the age of peak TV where showrunners regularly unload every narrative trick they can think of as fast as possible just to keep us hooked, it’s somewhat startling to come across a show which actually takes its time and is probably best digested just an episode or two at a time (there are 9 total). It’s a lot of things, is the point, all of them good, but also all of them slightly frustrating. It’s also a pretzel-shaped mystery, domestic drama, noir crime story, and mind-fuck thriller. The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica This article was most recently revised and updated by Brian Duignan.Tabula Rasa is a (maybe) haunted house story told in slow motion. Suitably qualified notions of the tabula rasa remained influential in British and subsequently Anglo-American ( analytic) philosophy through the mid-20th century. The 18th-century Scottish empiricist David Hume held similar views. Locke himself acknowledged an innate power of “reflection” (awareness of one’s own ideas, sensations, emotions, and so on) as a means of exploiting the materials given by experience as well as a limited realm of a priori (nonexperiential) knowledge, which he nevertheless regarded as “trifling” and essentially empty of content (e.g., “soul is soul” and “every man is an animal”). Locke did not believe, however, that the mind is literally blank or empty prior to experience, and almost no other empiricist has taken such an extreme position.
