Kidman’s new Netflix series fancies itself a new “Big Little Lies” or “White Lotus.” It’s nowhere near that good—but it still manages to be addictive.
Should anyone be mourning the unofficial “end” of summer, now that Labor Day weekend is in the rear view mirror, Netflix is doing us a solid. Its new series, is as much a TV version of a “beach read” as a series can be, allowing viewers to extend their escape to sunny mindlessness for just a bit longer.
Kidman plays Greer Garrison Winbury, a hugely successful author—hence the jaw-dropping Nantucket estate—and Schreiber is her harried, pothead husband, Tag. It’s the big wedding weekend of their son, Benji , to his beautiful bride-to-be Amelia , whose working-class status everyone in the family can barely hide their disgust over. That family includes s--t-stirring Thomas and his pregnant, smugly mean-girl wife Abby , and youngest son Will .
The lavish celebration, however, is interrupted by a shocking tragedy, which I won’t spoil because it is the big twist of the first episode and I don’t have the patience to be yelled at for ruining it. It’s also, however, the catalyst for the entire plot of the rest of the series, so there’s not much else I can write about the show without revealing it. But suffice it to say that the Big Thing That Happens opens a Pandora’s box of family secrets, and no one is too happy about that.
