There’s a definite sort of The Fugitive vibe to this series. I’m not really very impressed with Lyonne’s acting ability, but she’s not bad in this. I’m curious enough to see where it leads On Fri, Jan 27, 2023 at 10:03 AM Tom Wolper wrote: > It’s a new series on Peacock from Rian Johnson

I’ll throw this in from out in left field: if the CNBC show needs insurance to protect against Leno not being able to work, a policy may now be impossible or too expensive to get. At his age recovery takes a long time and he has had two recent hospitalizations based on his behavior rather than the

This show cost about $1.87 per episode to produce. Did they have more than two camera people? I am surprised it got cut because CNBC isn't exactly a ratings juggernaut. I know someone who knows Leno and I will ask what happened. On Fri, Jan 27, 2023, 11:49 AM Kevin M. wrote: > > > On Fri, Jan

It’s a new series on Peacock from Rian Johnson starring Natasha Lyonne. It’s a throwback to crime drama series from decades ago like Columbo and The Rockford Files. As usual it’s tough to get a good reading from the pilot because there’s so much exposition to set up the characters. It seems a good
