Florence Pugh and Hoon Lee Form the Beating Heart of Netflix’s Rich ‘East of Eden’ Adaptation: TV Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“East of Eden,” the John Steinbeck novel, opens with a place: the author’s native Salinas Valley, the fertile terrain transitioning from the nation’s frontier to its bread basket at the turn of the 20th century. “East of Eden,” the Netflix limited series created by actor and screenwriter Zoe Kazan, opens with a person: Cathy Ames (Florence Pugh), the Eve and Satanic temptress of Steinbeck’s explicit Biblical allegory. “I believe there are monsters born to human parents,” Cathy intones — transpla
‘Reacher’ Spinoff ‘Neagley’ Shows the Franchise Doesn’t Work Without Reacher: TV Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This may be the most obvious observation of all time, but it must be said: “Reacher” works because of Reacher. The hit Amazon Prime Video series, based on the novels by Lee Child and currently wrapping up its fourth season, is a vessel for star Alan Ritchson and his remarkable physique, which his drifter character puts to use by clobbering numerous bad guys across the United States in a variety of inventive ways. (Before Ritchson, the eponymous action hero was played in two movies by Tom Cruise,
After Taylor Frankie Paul’s ‘Bachelorette’ Scandal, ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Just Isn’t Fun Anymore (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SPOILER WARNING: The following story contains plot details from Season 5 of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.” From its very first moments, “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” has been inextricable from the toxic entanglement between #MomTok influencer Taylor Frankie Paul and her on-again, off-again boyfriend Dakota Mortensen. Two years ago, the show began with a violent encounter between the pair as captured on police officers’ body cameras. (The incident resulted in Paul’s arrest and subsequen
‘Snowfall’ Spinoff ‘The Drop’ Is an Evocative, If Uneven, Portrait of South L.A. in the Gangsta Rap Era: TV Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The FX drama “Snowfall” was one of the sneak success stories of the Peak TV era. Co-created by a marquee film director in “Boyz N the Hood” auteur John Singleton, “Snowfall” thrived where many series of similar origin failed. But it did so quietly: “Snowfall” didn’t win awards or mint breakouts beyond lead actor Damson Idris, but after premiering in 2017 — before the launch of Apple TV or Disney+, and an eternity ago in Hollywood years — the crime show steadily grew for six seasons before conclu
Netflix Animated Comedy ‘Dang!’ Is an Enjoyably Chaotic Sibling Hangout: TV Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The basic premise of the Netflix animated comedy “Dang!” bears a passing resemblance to that of “Broad City”: two codependent millennial burnouts living and (barely) working in New York City. The difference is that this pair, Andrew (series creator Andrew Law) and Eunice (Poppy Liu), are siblings; the show’s title is also their last name, minus the interrobang. And the duo’s domestic bliss is interrupted by the arrival of a third party — their older sister Ruthie (Stephanie Hsu), an uptight lawy
