Wesley Morris I’m with you, Jim. Through four episodes, it’s puzzling. I think you are suffering from that tug you identified. This is a 90 minute movie with no crazy ideas, images or attitudes to justify paying for more than 5 hours.
But hey, that first episode really seemed to be up to something. For TV, it was busy, but tight, focused, and suspenseful in a vulgar sense. It was funny, bizarre, deliberately acted, and attractively physical as an ensemble comedy and thanks to its erotic choreography. We are taken to the greenhouses of American celebrities to watch them wilt in the California sun. We encounter groups of competing personalities and interests, all trying to unravel what at the time seemed like a murder mystery. So, how did the image of Joslyn’s semen-stained face go viral on the internet, and who owns it? As it turned out, the leak was a white herring.
The key joke is that horror filmmaker Eli Roth is here to quiver in small, pretty decent parts. Because everything after the first episode ends with Tedros Tedros (yes, “Lolita” lovers) turning Joslyn into a painting of Magritte (tying her head with a scarlet scarf) and telling her to sing , because it is truly a journey without a soul. Ye Olde Torture-Porn Dungeon is bank-busting chic, though.
Lindsay Zoraz hello bro world class criminal. Jim, I agree that in this day and age of middle-of-the-road fame, a show this messed up is rare, but I’m not sure it’s bad enough to convincingly recommend to anyone for rubberneck purposes. don’t know. life is short As an attempted commentary on pop star status, I find this show hatefully self-righteous. think The book also has deep implications about celebrity and female empowerment (help us), but all its grandiose ideas sound disappointingly hollow.
and dramatically speak — to jeremy strong quote, are the actors you want to see on a Sunday night—“Idol” is curiously inert. The story is a mess, the pacing is all over the place, and the writing and performances make it impossible to care about the fate of the main characters. The best thing about this drama is its excellent supporting cast.Rachel Sennott is hilarious as some kind of cranky naive Gen Z Leia marnie michaels He finds himself crouching uncomfortably in the middle of this den of sin. But my favorite among the entourage is Davien Joy Randolph, who brings knowledge and a great sense of comical timing to the role of Destiny, one of Jocelyn’s managers. Cast her in everything.
