In most respects, the TV mogul’s latest is the same as his prior New West offerings, full of two-dimensional types, clunky dilemmas, and absurd and old-hat urban vs. rural dynamics that were out of date 50 years ago.
Despite its lack of originality (or a conclusion worthy of its set-up), those with an unending appetite for sultry and salacious mysteries about BFFs and the shocking skeletons in their closet will undoubtedly eat it up.
The best recipe for the formula’s success is often as simple as casting, with Nicole Kidman, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bobby Cannavale, Simon Baker, and Ariana DeBose elevating this thriller about the hunt for deadly serial killers.
