Death in Venice
March 27, 2016
For people like me who watched Flaked and wondered what was going on Hollywood Reporter critic Daniel Fienberg does a good job of breaking it down. TV's stream-and-binge zeitgeist is challenging writers and directors and the results while far from consistent interest me more than movies because the results are far from consistent. Flaked failed on a number of levels -- there were just plain gaps in it -- but the first five episodes were watchable because they weren't going anywhere. Remember when stories dawdled? Some of the best tales of the modern everyday are in the comics of Adrian Tomine.
