Pith & Pulp

Two halves of the same fruit testify to a murder. Their accounts diverge after the third sentence.

Set across two timelines and two perspectives, Pith & Pulp follows a married couple — a pomelo and his estranged wife — who give wildly different accounts of the same night in Newport. The cinematography splits the screen for full episodes. The truth, when it arrives in episode 6, is somehow worse than both versions. Filmed back-to-back with Real Housewives of Rind Island in the same hotel suite, on opposite weeks.
