But when Nic starts to get the impression that her new friend isn’t quite who she says she is, the show becomes an unsparing yet non-judgmental exploration of the lies people tell each other-and themselves-in order to live.Īmazon’s Dead Ringers should have been terrible. Unlike the other, terminally un-fun school mothers, Jen is down to drink, party, and share secrets. Nic begins to emerge from her funk when she meets Jen (Hizli), who just moved to the area with a son Ollie’s age. And she’s mourning the man she considers to be the real love of her life their affair ended with sudden, shocking death. She adores her mischievous, disabled little boy, Ollie (scene stealer Lenny Rush), and kind of hates her husband, Dan (Dustin Demri-Burns).

Read about all of the above and more in my roundup of the five-actually, sorry, six-best new TV releases of April 2023. Meanwhile, with so much to watch-and Succession still dominating the weekly news cycle-some wonderful shows are falling through the cracks. BEEF belongs in this category too, though I’d be remiss not to note the troubling controversy surrounding one of its cast members, David Choe. Davis and Dead Ringers, are actually pretty great. Unlike the great docudrama-rama of 2022, this spring has brought a wide variety of star-studded, high-concept, brand-name-creator TV. I have a tendency to get frustrated with these shows-not just because they come packed into an overwhelming six-week package, but because they often sound a lot better on paper than they turn out to be on the screen.īut this year has been a pleasant surprise.
Emmy season is upon us the deadline for 2023 premieres is May 31, and awards-hungry platforms are once again rushing out all their most prestigious titles. If the TV landscape has seemed even more crowded than usual this past month, it’s not just your imagination.
