These are the ratings I'd expect if someone told fans of Pen15 or Atlanta to watch the original movie. And no disrespect to Brad who is one of the greatest actors ever and in many exceptional movies, even the Mr &Mrs Smith movie wasn't that bad for what it was, just not something I'd watch a remake of. This was advertised so hard as a remake, which is a shame. Hopefully people who are familiar with the works of the two leads will know better and give it a chance. I like the anthology feel where there were different new characters played by multiple exceptional actors (Perlman, posey, even Michaela coel!!), some of which come back throughout. It was left a little open ended, maybe they'll come back for round 2!
Granted I could watch hours of Rosa Salazar riding in that car listening to Folk Implosion and Phil Collins, or Keener going around with gorgeous siamese manipulating people with bizarre conversations so perhaps a bit bias but...I found this refreshing and nostalgic for late 90s early 2000s cinema, like stranger things to the 80s. Enjoy the ride.
What a cute show that I never heard of until Hulu picked it up and put it in my list. I've watched almost every decent Showtime show and never even knew this existed, they did 0 advertising. Someone else should pick it back up. We are bored in the pandemic and need new shows....this is shot indoors with a few people at a time per scene (sans audience footage that could be historic). Seems like a low-budget, COVID friendly no-brainer!
