Ali Wong and Steven Yeun let loose in a superior revenge drama
Ali Wong and Steven Yeun explore the limits of anger in this superior revenge dramaThe chief piece of advice I read about having a successful marriage – I'm not married, just interested in other people’s relationships – is that you must not go to bed angry. Relationship blogs and agony aunts agree: resentment builds when you fall asleep, annoyed about something your mother-in-law said or that your partner slept with a colleague. This sounds about right, though difficult to put into practice.
This incident barrels through Danny and Amy’s lives, and all their family and friends’ lives, for the following days, weeks, months. There are high stakes for Amy, who has turned her upscale plant store into a tempting proposition for Jordan , an unfathomably-rich power player. If anyone finds out about the road rage indiscretion, which was caught on camera, that deal might be jeopardised.
Wong, a comedian best known for skewering specifics about millennial culture and Asian American life, is a revelation in her first role as a dramatic lead. Yeun, an Oscar-nominated actor who consistently chooses fascinating roles, is typically great. When the two are together, and the show is wise to keep them apart for long stretches, it’s electric.
Not everything works. You could easily cut three of the show’s middle episodes, and the finale flatlines. It also feels distinctly A24, which is either a threat or a selling point, with episodes named after quotations from writers like Simone de Beauvoir and zany elements like talking animals. While it is marketed as a comedy, and there are certainly humorous tones, nothing is actually laugh-out-loud funny.
